Peppermint Crusted Caramelized Salmon

This is a sweet twist on Caramelized Salmon.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1 tbsp. table salt
• Dash of pepper
• 16 oz. salmon
• Olive oil
• 1 tbsp. peppermint dust

Directions:

1. Combine sugar, salt, and pepper in bowl
2. Cut salmon into filets (I made 3), keeping skin on
3. Cover all sides of each filet in sugar mixture   
   
4. Heat olive oil over medium on a nonstick skiller
5. When oil is hot (hot enough to pop a popcorn kernel), put salmon on, skin side down
   
6. Cook for 5 minutes
7. Flip each filet and cook for another 5 minutes
8. Preheat broiler to 450 degrees
9. Sprinkle the peppermint on top of salmon
   
10. Put salmon in broiler for about 7 minutes, checking often so the salmon doesn't burn 
    

Enjoy!
