Orange and Brown Sugar Crusted Salmon

Once again, pulling from my box of fresh oranges I am making one of my favorite recipes. This is by far the easiest salmon recipe you will ever make. I also will say, it is one of the tastiest.

I am serving mine with some steamed broccoli over a bed of orange couscous. The Orange Couscous recipe can be found here.


Orange and Brown Sugar Crusted Salmon

* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon chili powder
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange rind
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1/2 teaspoon paprika
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 orange sliced into 1/4 inch slices
* 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
* Cooking spray

Preheat broiler.
Combine first 7 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture over both sides of salmon fillets. Place salmon on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil for 4 minutes then cover with orange slices. Broil an additional 5 minutes or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.
