Spicy Salmon

Fish is such a great weeknight option since it goes together so quickly.  It also fits into our attempt to eat more... well...Fish.

I find that salmon needs STRONG flavors.  It always tastes better to me when paired with big flavors, something like chilies.

This is a simple Ellie Krieger recipe.  I really loved it and will definitely be making it again soon!
