    Errrrrr body at your house is gonna go crazy of this one. If your dinner table is anything like mine was when we had this recently, you’re all gonna be licking your plates clean.

    Seriously, my boys went all bananas over this one. It is not at all spicy, despite having a little chili powder. There’s a little bit of brown sugar in this simple, homemade rub and that helps balance out the little heat from the chili powder. A touch of smokiness from the ground cumin, that’s perfectly matched with the lime juice that’s tossed with the tomatoes and avocado.

    Really, this is the perfect meal.

    Salmon is a very expensive cut of meat and we have it a few times a month. To keep the budget in check, I always serve it with a cheap starch (usually rice!) and some seasonal or on sale veggies.

    Finally…I’ve a special surprise for you with this recipe. The directions are written for baking, slow cooking and electric pressure cooking!!!  Enjoy!!!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
