Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine the ground coriander, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto the flesh side of each salmon fillet.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon is baking, prepare the lime cream. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and fresh cilantro until smooth. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt, if desired.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.
Serve each salmon fillet with a generous dollop of the lime cream on top and a lime wedge on the side, if using.
