Citrus-Roasted Salmon

Ingredients: 

• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 4 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander seeds
• ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 (6-ounce) can thawed orange juice concentrate
• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned (1 inch thick)
• Cooking Spray
• Orange wedges (optional)

Preparation:

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 ½ cup (about 2 minutes). Serve with fish, and garnish with orange wedges and parsley, if desired. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 2 tablespoons orange sauce).
