I’m back, with a recipe from my OPR (Other People’s Recipe) Series! 😉 I think that the reality is that most of us use recipes from cookbooks or websites for our every day and special occasion meals – even if we make MANY modifications to suit them to our own preferences and the contents of our fridge and pantry when we make them!
It is hard for me to believe, but last night was the first time I have made salmon since we moved to Florida! Normally, it is not Dan’s favorite meal, but he gave this recipe for Hot Honey Salmon from Pinch of Yum two thumbs up! I thought it was great as well, and how quickly it came together was an added bonus.
This recipe is from Pinch of Yum’s SOS Series 2.0. This series, and the original SOS Series, were created to help us with those super busy times (hello, back to school!) when getting dinner on the table feels especially challenging. I generally find a few recipes each time that go into my regular order rotation, and this for sure will be one of them. It is easy to get signed up to receive their Pinch of Yum emails, which I recommend since they create so many wonderful recipes (both SOS and non-SOS) that I seriously make all the time!
In terms of changes with this recipe, I subbed lime for the lemon and I would definitely do that again. I loved the tip to make a salad dressing with some of the marinade by adding a splash of olive oil and red wine vinegar. I did a simple salad with apples, cranberries and almonds and it was perfect. (Dan actually commented on how tasty the dressing was. 😂)
I cooked this on my new Ninja Foodi® 13-in-1 Dual Heat Air Fry Oven that I got at Kohl’s yesterday. I have become a Ninja devotee since I moved back, this being my second Ninja appliance. (I also have this Ninja Foodi® 5-in-1 Indoor Grill with Air Fryer, Roast, Bake & Dehydrate, which I have seriously used almost every day since I got it! It has pretty much replaced my outdoor grill. 🤣) The reason for the second (unplanned) Ninja purchase was as a replacement for our toaster oven, which no longer seems to be toasting consistently, i.e. sometimes it doesn’t toast at all, and other times it toasts beyond recognition. 🤦♀️ I figured we might as well get something that can do more than just toast, and I had Kohl’s gift cards and a 20% off coupon, so we decided to go for it! 😉 We have tried three functions – Air Roast and Broil for the salmon and Toast for bread, and so far, so good! (Side story is that we planned to get this Ninja Foodi® Digital Air Fryer Oven, but we brought the wrong one to the checkout and ended up getting wowed by the additional 8 functions!)
Please see the full Hot Honey Salmon recipe on Pinch of Yum’s website. You only need a few ingredients for this one, most of which you probably have in the house already!
