Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 pieces lime
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups red onion
- 0.25 cups cilantro leaves
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil evenly over each fillet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness.
While the salmon is roasting, prepare the lime salsa. Finely dice the cherry tomatoes and red onion, and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves and thinly slice the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), then add them to the bowl.
Zest one lime and add the zest to the bowl. Then juice both limes into the mixture.
Add the honey to the salsa mixture and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
When the salmon is done, transfer the fillets to serving plates. Top each fillet generously with the lime salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Roast Salmon with Lime Salsa!
