Honeyed Salmon

Rosh Hoshanah was more than a month ago, but this Honeyed Salmon is still delicious to enjoy any time of the year. Try it now, many times perhaps, and then keep it in your pocket when the Jewish New Year rolls around once again and you are excitedly looking for ways to incorporate honey into everything. Wait... you mean everyone doesn't get excited about honey and apples dominating all meals?

In true Rosh Hoshanah fashion, I made this entree with some delicious apple kugel and an apple and butternut squash soup with garam masala. As you can see, the holiday's themes extended throughout this entire meal but it paired traditional with unique twists on some other staples. It was absolutely delicious, and the year has been good so far, so I guess it did its job!

Honeyed Salmon
Ingredients:
2 tbsp shallots, diced
1 tsp Thyme, dried
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/8 tsp red pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lb Salmon fillets

Get your broiler pre-heating.

Mix the shallots, thyme, honey, dijon mustard, red pepper, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until evenly combined.

Grease a broiler pan and place the salmon on it, skin-side down. Brush the honey mixture evenly over the entire fillet. Broil for 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked. Keep an eye on it because if the honey mixture drips off, it may burn and cause some smoke in the oven. If that's the case, just make sure your fans are running before you open the oven and open it slowly!
