CILANTRO LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a nonstick skillet and place over medium-high heat. Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper.

• Return the skillet to medium heat and add the honey, soy, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and half of the lime zest and juice. Cook, stirring, until the butter melts and starts to bubble. Cook for a minute until the sauce thickens a little. Add the salmon and spoon over the sauce. Cook for another minute, basting as you go. Sprinkle generously with the cilantro.
• Stir the remaining lime juice and zest into the cooked rice. Serve the salmon with the rice, extra sauce and lime wedges on the side.

BROILED SALMON WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Place fish on plate.
• Combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, oil and salt in a bowl.
• Set 2 tablespoons aside in a separate bowl.
• Pour the cilantro mixture over the fish (do not use the 2 Tbsp reserved marinade).
• Cover and let it sit 10 minutes.
• Spray broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place salmon on rack and brush with 1 tablespoon marinade.
• Broil 6" from heat about 3-4 minutes.
• Turn steaks over and brush with remaining tablespoon of marinade.
• Broil 3 more minutes or until cooked through.
• Note: I have used two very thick salmon steaks instead of the four 3/4 inch thick ones that the recipe calls for, and I have used the same amount of marinade.
• However, since thicker steaks will take longer to cook, the marinade can burn.
• To compensate for this, I add a little bit of marinade at a time.
• For example, if the salmon steaks are 1- 1 1/2 inch thick or more, they can take around 10 minutes to cook.
• So I brush the salmon steaks with less marinade, around 1/2 tablespoon.
• I then remove them from the broiler after 2 1/2- 3 minutes, and add a little more marinade, reserving enough for two more applications.
• Then I broil for another 2 1/2 minutes.
• I then turn the salmon over and add more marinade, still reserving a little.
• I broil another 2 1/2 minutes.
• I then add the remaining marinade and broil the remaining 2 1/2 minutes or until cooked through.
• This may seem tiresome, but it's well worth it.
• The marinade is great and you definitely don't want it to burn!
