These recipes use two of my favorite ingredients, spinach and salmon. Try them out! I love them together and I’m sure you will too!

Salmon

4 Salmon fillets
2 Teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ Teaspoon Sugar
¼ Teaspoon chili powder
¼ Teaspoon cumin
1/8 Teaspoon salt
1/8 Teaspoon black pepper
4-6 Lime wedges

Mix together garlic, sugar, lime juice and spices. Evenly spread mixture over fillets and place on grill for 5-7 minutes, or until fish is flaky (or in oven at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes in a non-stick pan). Squeeze fresh lime wedges on after taking salmon off the grill.
