Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • 3 dashes cayenne pepper
  • 1 lb (450g) salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • lime for garnishing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Combine the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, cayenne pepper, and half of the cilantro in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed. Marinate the salmon in the mixture while the oven is preheating.
