Salmon With Chilli Lime Butter Food

CHILI LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (see below for grilling**). Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of parchment paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil. Lay salmon on top and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Rub chili powder, smoked paprika and cumin on salmon and slide lime slices halfway underneath the salmon, as pictured.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and honey and drizzle evenly over salmon. Sprinkle with half of the cilantro, fold parchment paper or foil sides up to prevent juices from leaking through (does not have to cover salmon). (Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes if you have time.)
• For a complete meal with vegetables (omit this step if not making vegetables) - spread sheet pan with asparagus and broccoli florets and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and move the vegetables to the side, making room for the salmon. Place the salmon in the middle of the sheet pan and slide lime slices underneath the salmon. Place another sheet of foil loosely over the salmon
• Bake for 12-16 minutes (depending on how large your fish is), or until the salmon is flaky to your desired doneness but try not overcook. Open the foil and turn oven to broil - cooking for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
• Cut into sections and discard skin and serve immediately with more chopped parsley, season with more salt (if needed) and a splash of lime

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. (see notes)
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the lime juice, red pepper flakes, honey, garlic, and salt. Allow the lime juice to reduce to 1 tablespoon. Add in 1 tablespoon of butter, remove pan from heat and swirl so the butter strts to melt. Place back on the heat for a few seconds, removed and continue to swirl until butter completely melts. Repeat with second tablespoon of butter. When butter is completely melted, remove sauce from stove.
• Place the salmon filet in a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Using a brush or spoon, brush the salmon with the lime butter sauce. Season with the cumin powder, lime zest, and chili powder. Cover with foil so that all sides are properly closed so the sauce does not leak.
• Bake the salmon for 12-14 minutes or until firm. Open the foil and allow the fish to broil under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it so the fish does not burn. Remove from oven, top with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
