Cilantro Lime Salmon

Cilantro and lime are two of my favorite ingredients, for example: my mouthwatering cilantro lime chicken recipe.

Imagine the same flavor combination on salmon fillet.

Can you imagine the taste in your mouth as you sink you teeth into the salmon?

Cilantro lime salmon is absolutely delicious.

Making Cilantro Lime Salmon is easier than you thought and calls for only a few basic ingredients.

Some people don’t like the fishy taste of salmon but with cilantro, lime juice, garlic and cayenne pepper in my recipe, you will only taste the fresh good taste of salmon and nothing else.

The best thing about this recipe is that it takes basically 10 minutes active time.

The oven is doing all the hard work.

With salmon, you only need about 15 minutes to cook the fish.

However, some salmon fillet is thicker than usual so please check the doneness before serving.

Bon appetit!
