Sweet and Smoky Salmon

My favorite fish.  I try to look for the "wild" stuff instead of the farm-raised.  I think it has more flavor!  This was pretty good with a marinated cucumber salad, sliced tomatoes, and some grilled asparagus.

Sweet and Smoky Salmon



Ingredients:
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons McCormick® Perfect Pinch® Salt Free Southwest Sweet 'n Smoky Seasoning, divided
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, divided
1 pound salmon fillets
Orange Salsa:
2 cans (11 ounces each) mandarin oranges, drained and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Perfect Pinch® Salt Free Southwest Sweet 'n Smoky Seasoning


Procedure:
For the Salmon:  mix juice, oil and 1 tablespoon each Seasoning and sugar in small bowl. 
Place salmon in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor. 

Meanwhile, for the Salsa, mix all ingredients in medium bowl until well blended. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon each Seasoning and sugar in small bowl. Remove salmon from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Rub salmon evenly with seasoning mixture.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with Orange Salsa.

To Grill Salmon instead of bake: Marinate and season salmon as directed. Grill over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
