Easy and Quick Chile Salmon

This is yummy and cooks quickly.  It's a no fail recipe. 

Chile Salmon

1 salmon fillet

salt

lemon juice

olive oil

chile powder

Pre-heat oven to 400 F.  While oven is pre-heating, sprinkle fillet with salt and lemon juice.  When the oven reaches 400 F - place fish in a cooking spray coated baking dish.  Drizzle fish with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with chile powder.  Cook for 15-20 mins. 

To check if fish is cooked through:  Insert a knife into the thickest portion of the fish, count to 3, place flat of knife against your arm.  If the knife is warm/hot the fish is done.  Not warm?  Fish needs more time.

Mexican Brownies

Fail, fail, fail! I do not like these brownies!

They are too soft and fudgey. They have a crisp crust.

Yuck! I like cakey brownies.
