Sweet and Spicy Salmon

Ingredients:

4 portions wild caught Alaska salmon.  I used Coho.

2 T olive oil

3/4 t sea salt

ground pepper to taste

3 T Pear with Honey and Ginger preserves

1/2 t dried, ground Cayenne Pepper. More or less depending on how spicy you want it. 

1/2 cup fresh mixed green herbs finely chopped (parsley, thyme, mint, dill or any combo make a good mix). Or sub 1/8 cup dried herbs.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Place frozen salmon on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Rub to coat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper

In a small bowl combine preserves and cayenne.  Spread evenly on 4 portions of salmon.  Press the herb mix evenly on top of preserve mix. 

Roast salmon for 16-20 minutes or until the fish is flaky when poked with a knife.  Check thickest section of the portions. Don't overcook, pink but warm in the center is desirable. 

Enjoy!
