Menu Ideas with Recipes for a Romantic Dinner for Two

Honey Glazed Salmon Recipe:

1 lb. fresh salmon fillets
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/4 c. honey
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp. chili powder.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the salmon and sauté until nearly done. Meanwhile, mix the honey, garlic and chili powder. Just before the fish is done, pour honey mixture over it. It will bubble up in the olive oil and form a glaze you can spoon back over the fish. Serve at once. Serve with a slice of lime.
