Brown Sugar Salmon with Spicy Corn Salsa

      Tender, flaky fish. What's better? Maybe tender, flaky fish with a brown sugar glaze...that sounds pretty good. But what if we top that with some spicy, smoky corn salsa with black beans and crisp juicy peppers?! Oh yes, now we're talking. This dish is absolutely delicious, and I think the picture says a thousand words....

Even the cat loved it....

       The best thing is, it is super easy. Fish cooks up so fast and the salsa only takes a minute so it is a really quick meal! It was definitely one of the best salmon dishes I have had in a while! If you plan on splurging on a meal, salmon is a great thing to drop some money on. First and most important thing it is delicious! Secondly, it is extremely healthy for you with loads of vitamin B6, B12, lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Brown Sugar Salmon with Spicy Corn Salsa

For Salmon-

1-1 1/2 lb salmon

salt and pepper

1 tsp paprika

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp dijon mustard

1 1/2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp minced garlic

For Salsa-

1 can corn, drained

1 can black beans

1/2 green bell pepper

1/2 red bell pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp cumin

1 1/2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 415 degrees

Prepare salsa first to let flavors absorb. Dice peppers and mix together with corn and beans. Add olive oil and seasonings and mix together. Set aside.

Pat salmon dry and season with salt, pepper and paprika. Put in preheated oven for ten minutes. While it is baking, mix together brown sugar, mustard, soy sauce, garlic and olive oil. Remove from oven after ten minutes, change oven setting to broil and brush salmon with glaze, giving oven time to heat up. Place back in oven for 2-3 more minutes or until salmon is tender. 

Serve with salsa.
