Chile Lime Salmon with Caribbean Salsa

For many Lent season can seem a daunting task. I know it was for me when I moved out on my own. The first year I first moved out I ate pancakes, mac and cheese and loads of fish sticks in attempt to continue the Lenten tradition that my mom pulled off effortlessly each year.  After failing miserably in my first Lenten season without my mom I realized I needed help, a bit of inspiration and an arsenal of new recipes.

This is one of the first recipes I made and still make to this day.  An easy, very easy recipe made with only a few ingredients and topped with a sweet salsa that can be easily adjusted to suit your fruit preference.

A touch of the freshness this salsa is bright from fresh mangos, kiwi and grapefruit.  Feel free to swap out oranges for grapefruit or papaya for mango, both work well.  The Salmon is coated with a chile lime glaze made from fresh lime juice, a hint of spice from chili powder and a touch of sweetness from honey.  Quickly baked on foil for easy clean up and topped with a fresh fruit salsa this Lenten meal is a meat-free satisfying meal.
