BROILED SPICY SALMON STEAKS & SALSA

Make the salsa first so the flavors can mingle while you prepare the fish.

2 (8-oz each) salmon steaks about 1-inch thick
3/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp ground oregano

Spray broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Cut each of the salmon steaks into 2 pieces; set aside.

In a small bowl combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, and oregano, mixing well.  Lightly sprinkle both sides of the salmon steakes with the mixture and place on the prepared broiler pan.
Broil salmon 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.  Turn once during cooking.

1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
1/2 cup diced orange sections
1/2 cup finely chopped ripe tomato
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp granulated sugar
3/4 tsp cumin

Combine the beans, orange, tomato, lime juice, sugar, and cumin in a medium bowl and mix well.  Let stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving.  Stir before serving.
