Seared Salmon With Sweet Onion And Carrots

I was reading about all the health benefits of salmon and spices, (especially cayenne and ginger), so I decided to put together a scrumptious recipe that pleases your palette as well as your body. If you're not a spicy lover, then I suggest either cutting out the cayenne entirely or using less than what's called for. Here's to your health!

Recipe for 2 salmon filets: 

1 white or yellow onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup baby carrots, sliced width-wise

1 tsp rice vinegar

2-1/2 tbsp lemon juice (half a lemon)

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne

1/4 tsp thyme

Salt to taste

Olive oil (regular and extra virgin)

1 tsp minced ginger

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. In a pan on medium heat, add the regular olive oil and saute the vegetables and spices for seven to 10 minutes until onions are goldened and carrots are softened. Place the salmon filets on top the baking sheet and scoop the onion-garlic mixture evenly across each filet. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes.
