> Savory & Sweet w/ a Nice Kick

### Master Plan

The idea was to create a dish that could be easily eaten in a party atmosphere where most guests are mingling and might prefer not to have to sit and eat.

### Final Result

Overall, I was completely satisfied with ALL the flavors, including the extra kick from the habaneros.

- __Best Positive:__ Tomatoes tasted sweet and savory.

- __Worst Negative:__ Burnt a few edges when the smoker lost its mind.

- __Next Time:__ A lil' less _(habanero)_ heat; and add fresh garlic.

LET'S GET STARTED!

### What do you need?

1. 2 lbs of fresh salmon
2. 3x green tomatoes
3. 1x onion
4. 1x habanero pepper
5. 1 tbsp pure honey
6. Fresh herbs
7. Dry rub

### 1. Preparation

Season the salmon with a dry rub and the fresh herbs.

### 2. Seasoning

1. Thyme
2. Cilantro
3. Smoked paprika _(ground)_
4. Cayenne pepper _(ground)_
5. Food coloring

### 3. Smoker

Place the seasoned salmon in the smoker for 2 hours.

### 4. Pan-fry

Cut up the green tomatoes. Cut up a whole onion. Dice the habanero. Dice your herbs (as needed). Add everything _(except for the herbs)_ to a hot-oiled pan on high heat. After about 5 minutes, add your herbs and the pure honey. Just before turning off the heat, add your food coloring.

### 5. Plating

You can decorate your final plate with any extra herbs that weren't used during cooking.
