Chili-Lime Grilled Salmon and Shrimp

Frozen salmon fillets were on sale at the local supermarket so a lot of my recipes will probably include salmon. FYI: Salmon is a super source of lean protein that contains vitamin B3, and niacin. Niacin helps our bodies release energy from foods we eat. So stock up on SALMON!!!! There was also a sale on precooked frozen shrimp at the market, so I decided to include those with the dish. The salmon has a southwestern flare to it...to I paired it with 90 second southwestern style rice. I have a whole cupboard full of all different types of microwaveable rice. They make the perfect quick fix side dish to most meals. The picture does not make the meal look very appetizing because I took it with my phone.


1/2 tsp Sugar
1/4 tsp Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Ground Cumin
4 tsp Lime Juice
1 salmon fillet

Note: If you want to serve shrimp with the salmon then double the ingredients.

Directions:
Mix all ingredients (expect salmon) in a bowl.

Defrost salmon (if frozen) according to package.

Brush Chili-Lime sauce over salmon and grill in grill pan or outdoor grill until cooked. Serve with your choice of side.
