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

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

Salmon is probably one of my favorite types of fish. While it is not as fresh as Guam, I can get an okay quality for an arm and a leg - which is better than none. As I have mentioned, we don't like meat much at all. Plus, fish is so healthy and my kids love it - so who am I to cut it out of our diet?

This recipe comes from Rachael Ray's 365: No Repeats. This is probably one of my favorite cookbooks of hers. Not all of the recipes have been winners and I often wonder if all were tested. However, there a many good tried and true recipes that make it worthwhile and indispensable in my home.

This recipe was kind of in between for me. It was great and all the flavors combined well. However, the glaze was not so much a glaze as a recipe. I had a rather large lime, so maybe I should have upped the honey a bit to thicken it. Something told me I should have while making it - but, I did not listen to myself. This meal comes together very quickly and is perfect for a weeknight. Fish is very quick cooking and there is little chopping required. You start the salad in one skillet and while that is working, simply sear the salmon until done. It also makes for easy clean up with just to pans to clean. It is actually a very pretty, colorful meal, plates nicely, and would be good for company. I will probably tweak the "glaze" a bit; but, overall, this recipe is a keeper.
