17 May Fit2Go Recipe: Chili Lime Salmon
WHAT IT IS:
Chili lime salmon is a very flavorful and protein packed dish
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- 1 lb salmon divided into two 0.5lb halves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 C fresh lime juice or 1 juiced limes (zest 1 whole lime before you juice it, you will need the zest of 1 lime also)
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 T minced garlic
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/8 C fresh chopped parsley
- Hand held grater for lime zest (https://amzn.to/3c9lCUF)
- For best flavor- I highly recommend using a cast iron skillet for this and almost everything you cook! But this is optional (https://amzn.to/3bdPD4t)
- Food Scale for accurate measurements (https://amzn.to/3fmsy2B)
- If you choose to use a baking sheet- These are my baking sheets. Rachel Ray kitchenware is my favorite! (https://amzn.to/3cdB81Q)
- Meat thermometer (https://amzn.to/2y7BDeS)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- I recommend using a cast iron skillet but if you use a baking sheet- I recommend lining baking sheet with foil.
- Place salmon fillets on baking sheet or cast iron skillet
- Rub each salmon fillet with half of the olive oil, and half of the minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add red pepper flakes to taste
- Add 1/2 of the cumin and honey to each salmon filet
- Add 1/2 of the lime zest to the top of each filet. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over top each salmon filet.
- Equally divide the parsley and top each filet with half
- Bake about 15 minutes or until 145 degrees in the center (use meat thermometer)
