    I'm not sure if I want to use syrup...maybe I'll just use extra sriracha and a little raw honey for the sweet.

    I swap the syrup for agave nectar and it is delicious.

    The boyfriend won't eat seafood he didn't catch. I wonder how that sauce would be on chicken, though. I'll have to give it a try.

    Sounds great, but how much for a serving? That's the downside to pinterest, they normally don't give enough information (and the recipes I've keyed in have been wrong)

    Love it! And I don't have cilantro in the fridge, so I'm using basil. I'm sure it'll be amazing!

    This is Gwyneth Paltrow's recipe from her cookbook. I've made it a few times and I really like it. The nutritional information can be found on her recipe post here (217 calories/serving):

    http://www.self.com/fooddiet/recipes/2013/04/salmon-sriracha-sauce-lime

    It is also already in the MFP database, just look up "Gwyneth Paltrow Salmon".

    And here's her picture of the dish too:

    so according to the recipe, it's 1.25 lbs of salmon for 4 servings.
    according to the DB, 1.25lb/4 = 0.3125lb = 141g.
    141 grams of Fish - Salmon, Atlantic, wild, cooked, dry heat is 257 calories.
    1/4 tbsp of maple syrup is another 11 or so calories.

    that's a little more than the quoted caloric value of 217 per serving, not a lot, but 268 isn't 217.

    that's the point I'm trying to make. While Pinterest and other websites may be great for recipes, the nutritional information is skewed.

    I'm not bashing the recipe, just want folks to be aware that not every recipe that's out there is exactly what it may say... and Pinterest is awful for this.
