Sweet & Spicy Salmon
This sweet & spicy salmon recipe is delicious! The decadent-tasting “good” fat in salmon complements the sweet-spicy Buffalo glaze. The skin gets caramelized and crisp on the grill. It’s delicious, but can be discarded to save fat and calories. I make steamed brown rice and grilled zucchini to accompany the salmon rather than the slaw.
