Citrus-Roasted Salmon

Yield: 4 servings * Overall Price: ~$15 * Calories: 366

Served here with sautéed zucchini and corn
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (6-ounce) can thawed orange juice concentrate
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned (1 inch thick)
cooking spray

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400*
2. Combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl; brush both sides of fish with orange mixture. Reserve remaining orange mixture. Place fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400* for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
3. Place remaining orange mixture in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 2 minutes). Serve with fish.


Thoughts:
This is the first meal I've made that I haven't really liked. It had a really strong fake orange taste to it. It got better as I went along, but I wouldn't make this again.
