Spicy Baked Salmon with Cucumber Relish Recipe | ahealthylifeforme.com

I saw this recipe over at Sweet Paul Magazine, and knew it would become a family favorite.  I have made it several times, and changed it up to suit my tastes and my family.  It has limited ingredients, is light and healthy and very quick to pull together; taking less than 20 minutes.

I topped the salmon with San Francisco Bay Seasoning that I got from Whole Foods, it is a great seasoning mix to have on hand because it works with all fish.  Any Bay seasoning will work, you can even make your own.  Recipe at bottom of post

You can also skip the peeling of the cucumber and just do a dice, but I really preferred the recipe without the cucumber seeds.  You can also make this with a bit more kick by upping the amount of red pepper flakes.  My husband is a huge fan of the spicy so I always add extra to his side of the fish.  If you do this just make sure you can tell which side has the extra spice, you don’t want to have any unexpected surprises when you bite into your fish.

I hope you try this recipe it really is exceptional!
