Blackened Salmon, Spaghetti Squash and Kale


Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon of chilli powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of dry dill
1 teaspoon of coconut palm sugar
0 To taste - salt and pepper
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1 pound of salmon skin on cut into nice fillets ~ 5 ozs. each
1 spaghetti squash cooked and all of the flesh scraped out


3 cups of chopped kale
1 teaspoon of hot sauce
1 teaspoon of butter
1/2 teaspoon of high-quality honey
1 clove of finely chopped garlic.

Directions:
1. Prepare the Spaghetti Squash 
2. Mix together all of the dry ingredients and coat one side of the salmon fillet.
3. Use a bit of olive oil to rub into the flesh better. Season with salt and pepper
4. Grill: Spray the BBQ with baking spray (and that the BBQ is not too hot)  
5. Cook the seasoned side down for two minutes
6. Flip and cook for the two sides for 1-2 minutes
7. Flip completely over and cook for another 3-4 mins (until medium moist). The flesh should have a bit of spring left in it, but not too firm)
8. (Cooking Option) Broiler - set the blackened salmon on a baking tray flesh side up and broil for 4-6 minutes, again looking for that medium moist feel.
9. Lightly melt the butter with the garlic in a pan
10. Add the chopped kale, and spaghetti squash. 
11. Heat through and season with hot sauce and a drizzle of honey and check if salt and pepper are needed.

Notes: Caution on hot sauce - go lightly. The honey adds a great, light flavor.
