Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon Recipe

Hey Y'all!  Happy Friday!  Today is a super exciting day because as you read this I am off to spend a fun-filled weekend in the big city with my sister, Living Like Randalls, and her family.  However, I couldn't leave without leaving you with something delectable to drool over.  Oh, and did I mention this Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon dinner only cost me $5 to feed two people!  No!  I'm not kidding!  FIVE DOLLARS!  

If you've ever watched my YouTube Channel you will know that occasionally I participate in these $5 Dinner Challenges where you create a meal that feeds two people for $5.  I am constantly amazed at what I can come up with on a budget, but I must confess that this Sweet & Spicy Glazed Salmon dinner is my best $5 Dinner to date!  With just a few simple ingredients you can create a meal that any restaurant would be proud to serve.  I can't wait to share it with you so...

Let's Get Started!



If this is your first time visiting The Kitchen Wife, this post is going to look a little different than I usually post.  Normally I would give you step-by-step photo instructions with each recipe, but since I did a video for this Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon, I'll just link it down below.  You can feel free to click on it to watch the tutorial.
