Quick.  Fresh flavor. Lots of veggies.  Feel good at the end of the meal.  Check, check, check, CHECK!  We are all geared up for Spring/Summer meals in our household.  This one hit the spot.  I served with some wild rice on the side.
Ingredients:
Salmon:
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
  • Cooking spray
Salsa:
  • 1 cup prechopped red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped tomato
  • 2 Tbs prechopped red onion
  • 1 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 ½ tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Directions:
  • To prepare salmon, heat a grill at medium-high heat.  Combine first 5 ingredients; rub evenly over fillets.  Coat grill grate with cooking spray.  Add fillets to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.  (Salmon should flake easily with a fork.)
  • While fish cooks, prepare salsa.  Combine bell pepper and remaining ingredients.  Serve salsa with fillets.
