Sweet and Spicy Salmon

I usually make salmon on Fridays and this past Friday, was no different. I want to make a new recipe each week and this is a new recipe but it didn’t end up they way I had planned.

It was supposed to be grilled. I baked it. It was to have chili sauce. I used chili powder. Otherwise, I stayed true to this recipe from All Recipes.
We love salmon and it could be plain but the additions, each week, are a surprise and it has become fun to see what salmon comes out of the kitchen, this Friday.

If you have any good salmon recipes, please link them up. If you don’t, link whatever recipe you would like. We love new recipes.

Sweet and Spicy Salmon

Ingredients:

2 pieces of salmon

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 scallions, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place salmon in a baking pan to fit.
In medium size bowl, mix soy sauce, chili powder, ginger and garlic.
Pour sauce over salmon.
Sprinkle chopped scallions over salmon.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serve, spooning juice over salmon.
I added about a quarter of inch of water to the bottom of the pan to avoid it drying out and burning.
