Lime-and-Honey Glazed Salmon with Warm Black Bean and Corn Salad

 

 

 

2 Tbs 

 

extra-virgin olive oil

 

1 medium 

 

red onion, chopped

 

2 large 

 

cloves garlic, minced

 

½ tsp 

 

red pepper flakes (more if you desire additional spice)

 

1 tsp 

 

ground cumin

 

 

 

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

2 medium 

 

limes, juiced

 

3 Tbs 

 

honey

 

1 tsp 

 

chili powder

 

Four 6-ounce 

 

salmon fillets

 

1 medium 

 

red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped

 

4 cobs 

 

fresh corn (corn cut off)

 

½ cup 

 

chicken broth

 

15 ounce 

 

can black beans, rinsed and drained

 

2 Tbs 

 

freshly chopped cilantro

 

6 cups 

 

baby spinach (one bag of spinach)

 

 

1

Preheat large skillet over medium heat with 1 Tbs. olive oil. Add onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

2

While onions are cooking, preheat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with remaining Tbs. olive oil. In a shallow dish, combine juice of 1 lime, honey, chili powder, salt and pepper. Add salmon fillets to lime-honey mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Add seasoned salmon to the hot skillet and cook until just cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Cover for quicker cooking.

3

To the cooked onions, add bell peppers and corn kernels and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Add the black beans and cook until the beans are just heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the juice of the second lime, the cilantro and the spinach. Toss to wilt the spinach and then taste and adjust seasoning. Serve the lime-and-honey glazed salmon on top of the warm black bean and corn salad.
