Honey Spice Salmon

Fun Fact: Salmon is called the King of Fish!

Salmon is a great post-workout food as it doesn't take a lot of prep time.

I came up with this one day as I was looking for an excuse to use fresh thyme from my garden. For some reason I was also looking to experiment with a fruit juice. Apple juice seemed to be the best bet.

I have often added Frank's Red Hot to BBQ sauces, however, during this experiment I found that it works great when added to a juice-based sauce.

Here's a link to the Frank's Red Hot site:
