Renny's Recipes: Honey Lemon Salmon

I am back! Sorry I was gone last week. Moving is the absolute worst thing ever. This time I am moving from a house to a house, which is exciting and difficult at the same time.  

Anyway, you didn't know this, but I can read your mind. I know you were thinking, "Lindsey, I want healthy recipes, but I am tired of always using chicken. I need other protein options." I heard you, and I get it. Chicken tends to be our protein of choice because, well, it's delicious and versatile. PH calls it "girl food" because I guess women tend to prefer it to things like steak. (Although, I like steak!)

Well, I am here with some other healthy, tasty protein options for you! (my vegan friends, I see you and I love you. Don't leave me, I promise, I am not ignoring you. Recipes for you will be forthcoming!)
This week's recipe uses Salmon!

Salmon happens to be my mom's favorite fish, so it is one that I am quite used to using. I found this recipe on Pinterest and decided I wanted to try it out.
I bought a nice large piece of salmon at Fry's (the best grocery store in town and also the world) and do you know what happened? I got home and realized I had no lime juice.
PH had used it all.
Yes, we had no limes. No, I was not going to go back to the grocery store.
Instead, I used the basic premise of the recipe and kind of did my own thing.

One of those things was this jalapeno honey. PH and I bought it in New Mexico when we went for his cousin's wedding. It has a nice kick to it, which adds great flavor to the dish. Also, if you had red pepper flakes you'll get a burn on both ends. You know what I mean. Jalapeno has a more immediate burn, and those red pepper flakes don't start burning until after the bite.
When PH came home, he loved it! He also heated up a few corn tortillas and made his own little fish tacos with it. So, there is another option for you. He used our mini skillet pan that I talked about in this post to cook them. He ate a lot of fish. Which is a good thing!

So here you go, a healthy fish recipe. Get into the kitchen and shake up your chicken blues!
