Honey Glazed Salmon and Autumn Spiced Carrots

Only 10 minutes under the broiler can create this healthful and delicious meal.  Honey Glazed Salmon and the Autumn Spiced Carrots use simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry and refrigerator. 

Honey Glazed Salmon

Serves 4

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons honey  

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lime juice

4 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat the broiler.  Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, mustard and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with the glaze. Put the salmon, skin-side down, on a broiler pan lightly coated with olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper. Broil until the salmon is golden brown about 5-7 minutes. 

Serve the salmon with the carrots and lime wedges.

Autumn Spiced Carrots

Serves 4

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound carrots, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Pinch of ground cinnamon

1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh mint

1/4 cup sliced almonds 

Preheat the broiler. Lightly oil the broiler pan. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl, then spread out on the broiler pan.  Broil until the carrots crisp-tender about 9-12 minutes.

Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lime juice, the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, mint and almonds in a bowl. Add the carrots and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper.
