Citrus and Chili Rubbed Salmon

A new year, fresh start and new resolutions.  Looking past last year and the new reality of life and looking forward to new goals.  Tim and I switching gears a little bit when it comes to our foodie obsessions.  Healthier recipes and healthier lifestyle choices.  We did a lot of cooking this weekend and trying to kick off the new year with some healthier options. I love salmon - I could eat it every day.  However, Tim isn't a fish freak so we had to balance our choices.
