BBQ Salmon

I love finding new ways to prepare fish. This is another example of a recipe I've had in my collection for way too long without trying it. It is so good! Salmon is briefly marinated in pineapple and lemon juices, then topped with a tantalizing mix of spices. It bakes up super quickly and the result is a super yummy, super healthy and super easy and quick dinner that you'll make again and again.

Start by combining the pineapple juice and lemon juice in a zip top bag, then add the salmon.

Let that marinate in the fridge for 1/2 hour to an hour - but not longer, or it will dry the salmon out.

For the spice mixture, combine the brown sugar, chili powder,

cumin,

salt, cinnamon and grated lemon rind.

Remove the salmon from the bag and place on a greased baking sheet. Spoon the spice mixture over, using your fingers to press it down onto the fillets.

Bake for about 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork - the time will depend on how think your fillets are - so start checking at 10 minutes. Serve with some green veggies and start thinking about when you can make this again!
