Cilantro Lime Salmon
Bright and fresh flavors cut through salmon’s richness for light and summery meal. I like to serve this with salad with creamy chipotle adobo dressing or a Mexican-inspired kohlrabi slaw.
Servings: 2
Calories: 331kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 jalapeño stem, seeds, and membranes removed (use a glove to keep from getting the oils on your hands – removal of the seeds and membranes removes the spiciness so leave them in if you love heat), omit for nightshade-free
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- zest of 1 lime
- pinch of monk fruit or a drop of stevia glycerite, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Rub the foil with a little bit of avocado oil to prevent sticking and then lay the salmon on top. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Combine the jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and zest, and monk fruit in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour over salmon and bake at 200ºF for 20 minutes, or until the fish is just beginning to flake, or registers 120ºF inside. It will have a more raw appearance but be cooked at this point.
