Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spritz nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Evenly brush or spoon the cilantro marinade over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring a generous and even coating.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime if desired.
