Seasoning for Fish or Shrimp

 We've got another seafood variation to go with mango salsa!  Yeah, we're on a mango salsa kick right now.   

Here's a great seasoning to complement your mango salsa topping.   We used this with 2 small tilapia filets and about 15 shrimp.  After the fish is done, putting it on top of some fresh spinach so the heat of the fish makes the spinach wilt a bit and topping it all with mango salsa is delightful.

Seasoning for Fish or Shrimp

2 t. chili powder

1 t. garlic powder

1 t. brown sugar

3/4 t. salt

zest of 1 lime

Mix the seasoning in a bowl.  Top the fish and toss the shrimp in the seasoning.  Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray.  Put the filet and shrimp on the pan and bake at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes, until the shrimp is cooked and the filet is flaky.

Lime Marinade for Salmon

Salmon was on the menu tonight with Mango Salsa and I needed a marinade to complement that.  After some googling, I assembled this one for a one pound salmon with bright flavors.  Not too shabby.   A side of sautéed spinach with garlic, salt, and pepper rounded out the plate.

Lime Marinade for Salmon

(for 1 pound salmon)

1 lime, zested and juiced

1 1/2 T. olive oil

1 1/2 T. soy sauce

2 t. garlic, minced

1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes

salt and pepper

Combine all the marinade ingredients and put in a baggie with the salmon.  Marinate for about an hour.  Grill it or bake it at 375 degrees until flaky.
