*****So the original recipe is above.  Last night I was in a pinch and just grabbed what I had on hand instead of running to the grocery store to get everything exact in this recipe.  Remember, recipes are guidelines not rules!  The ingredients I used last night were as follows:  garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, EVOO, carrot sticks (It seems like once I buy a bag of these, I put them in everything.  They are so handy!), red onion, cannellini beans, spinach, tomato, and cilantro.  I didn’t have any fresh salmon at home, but pulled out a couple of NO NAME SALMON fillets from the freezer and just used them as is, no honey-lime marinade.  (If you haven’t tried the NO NAME SALMON, they are worth it when on sale.  You can often find a box on sale for $9.99 and get 4 fillets.  They aren’t as healthy as the real deal, but they are very convenient.  From freezer to plate in less than 20 minutes!)
