Southwest Salmon


This dinner was really flavorful and satisfying. My sous chef doesn't eat fish that often (he's a meat and potatoes guy), but he enjoyed this very much. The spices really added a ton of flavor and the lime was a nice touch.

Ingredients:
Servings: 2
8 oz salmon fillets (skin on)
1 bunch fresh cilantro
2 limes
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt
pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix together cumin, chili powder and several chopped cilantro leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Coat flesh side of fish heavily with rub and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. Bake fish on skin side down for about 25 to 30 minutes. Fish should be cooked through, but still very moist. Before serving top with crushed limes and chopped cilantro leaves. A 4 oz piece is about 6 points. Enjoy!
