Ingredients

  • 1/2  cup  honey
  • 1  jalapeño pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 (2 pound) salmon filet
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Heat the honey and the jalapeños in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Let the honey come to a light simmer then turn off the honey. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Strain the honey through a fine mesh sieve to remove the peppers and the seeds.
  3. Place your salmon filet on the foil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spoon a few tablespoons of the honey on top of the salmon and place the lemon slices on top. Roast for 15 to 20 minute, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Before serving, drizzle a bit more honey on the salmon and add the peppers if you wish. Serve with an extra spritz of lemon.
