I had this delicious salmon at a friends house for dinner some time ago. I changed it up a bit to give it my own twist. My friend Bob doesn’t like cilantro or cumin and I am a huge fan. So I added dried cumin powder and fresh cilantro. The glaze is so simple and really add a ton of flavor to this dish. The green chile honey glaze can be used on any meat or fish. I am partial to fish, chicken and pork. I haven’t had it on beef – well not yet! This is a super easy and simple dinner. I hope you love it.

- I added slightly more honey because the chile was spicy. Caution: do not over heat the honey, you just want it to melt, creating a glaze. Also, cooking time may vary on salmon depending on the thickness of the filets. I do not like overcooked fish. Three minutes on each side was perfect for these filets that were about 1 - 1.5 inches thick. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
Are you a sauce lover? If so here is another great dinner menu idea. Filet mignon with a tasty blue cheese sauce. Seriously, this blue cheese sauce is the bomb! The roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli were the perfect side. This make a great romantic dinner for two. Just sayin . . . wink, wink.
