bringing the sassy with salmon

Is there ever a wrong time to add a little a sass to your dinner table.  Ok, now I am not talking about sassy back talk from your tween’s or teenagers, but how about a little sass on the table with a super delicious salmon dish?

Now a sassy dish could be anything that you take to the next level and make it special but last week sassy was all about a new salmon dish that turned out super delicious.  The Hubby and I love salmon, and we normally have it once a week at least but I wanted to change it up a bit without adding a ton of fat while amping up the flavor.

One of my favorite ways to amp up the flavor on almost any protein is through a spice rub.   This rub worked great on the salmon but it would also work great on chicken or pork as well…the little sweet with the little heat makes for a great combo.   To add in another layer you could also throw in some additional dried herbs, but for this salmon I wanted to keep it pretty simple to really let the salmon be the star.   Not only was the rub delicious but the color it gave the salmon was AMAZING and made it look like I worked super hard on this super simple dish….I love it when it turns out like that.  

I served it with a simple garlic rice and these slow cooker black beans to create a flavor packed protein rich dinner that The Hubby LOVED!!
