Grilled Salmon

Lately I have been going through random bouts of annoying break outs. I'm not talking those once a month pimples that come due to mother nature. I'm talking, I woke up today and found a new "friend" on my face. I've been trying anything that has salicylic acid or Benzoyl peroxide. Nothing seems to be working the way it should. Of course the breakouts could come from a variety of things, but I know that I need to do something. It's all about what you put in your body and I know that I can stand to drink a little more water, eat more greens, take more vitamins etc. etc. Since I'm on this fitness kick and had a random taste for salmon, I decided that it would be a great meal for the weekend. It's not only good for you but it is delicious.

I found a simple recipe on my favorite place, Epicurious. Of course you can alter it as you see fit, but I wanted to give you a good head start.

I'll more than likely pair this with a simple spinach salad and my favorite sweet potato.

Grilled Salmon with Lime Butter Sauce

Ingredients
6 (6-oz) pieces center-cut salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick) with skin
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime zest
6 tablespoons Lime Butter Sauce

Directions
1. Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas) - I'll be using my stove-top grill/griddle for this.
2. Season salmon all over with salt and pepper, then grill, flesh sides down, on lightly oiled grill rack (covered only if using gas grill) 4 minutes.
3. Turn fillets over and grill (covered only if using gas grill) until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes more.
4. Sprinkle fillets with zest and top each with 1 tablespoon lime butter sauce.
