Citrus Glazed Salmon
Why I Love This Recipe
I've been trying to work healthier foods into our meals.... this is a yummy way to spice up plain salmon filets. Really easy too!
I served with steamed asparagus and crusty bread. Yummy!

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp. five spice powder (I made my own... omitting the anise!)
