Description
A vibrant and flavorful salmon dish, baked with chili, lime, and honey for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Place the salmon, skin side down, onto a piece of foil large enough to fold over and cover completely.
- Heat lime juice, honey, garlic, and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat until warm.
- Remove from heat and add in the cold butter, swirling to melt.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the salmon, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, and lime zest on top.
- Cover the salmon, making a pouch with the foil to lock in moisture.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your filet. The salmon should flake easily when it is done.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the lime and honey mixture for 30 minutes before cooking. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.
