Hot Honey

In three days I will be the guest chef at Central Market Cooking School.  You might already know this and if so I apologize for the repetition.  I thought it would be fun to share the recipes we will be preparing on that night with my blog readers – that’s YOU!  By the way I appreciate each and every one of you who take the time to stop by and see what’s up at The Orange Bee.  The blog network is a unique place to be….meeting total strangers who soon seem to be your friends…how cool is this?Anyway thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday I shared the appetizer we will serve at CM.  Today I’m sharing the entrée recipe with you, which is so delicious.  It is Honey-Jalapeno Glazed Salmon.  Salmon is my family’s favorite fish.  We serve it often, always grilled and always enjoyed.  I like to buy wild caught salmon.  This glaze is perfect with the meatiness of salmon.  The jalapeños add just a hint of hot and I really like to char some whole, seeded peppers on the side.  Yum!

Tomorrow I will share the salad recipe with you, which has a wonderful honey infused dressing.  Followed by 2 desserts on Sunday and Monday, both using honey instead of sugar for sweetness.  Honey imparts a unique flavor to baked goods and it’s so good for you too!

Enjoy!

Honey-Jalapeno Glazed Salmon

Ingredients: 4 salmon fillets 3 tbsp. honey 2 tsp. finely chopped, seeded jalapenos 1 tsp. Salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 4 jalapenos (to grill on the side)

Brush grill rack with a little oil.  Lay salmon on grill racks, over medium high heat, skin side down.  As salmon begins to cook spread a little glaze on each fillet.  Continue brushing fish with glaze until salmon is opaque and cooked through.  ( I do not flip my fish when grilling) .  Toss on a few seeded and split jalapenos on the side, grill until charred and serve with the fish.
