Chili Lime Roasted Salmon

There is nothing like a delicious piece of salmon. I love roasted salmon for meal prepping or even quick dinners. You can never go wrong! I also love that you can do so much with salmon. I was in the mood for anything lime-flavored (weird craving, I know). Chili flavoring compliments lime so well, so I decided to make a chili lime salmon. I even added a little bit of honey to go for more of a sweet and savory dish. I served this delicious salmon over a bed of cilantro lime jasmine rice. It was easy, simple, flavorful and so delicious. This simple salmon recipe will be your new go-to, especially for meal prepping!

Ingredients:

• 2lbs of wild caught salmon
• 2 limes (sliced xtra thin)
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1/2-1 teaspoon of course kosher salt (add to taste – start with 1/2 teaspoon. If you want it saltier after cooking, add more salt.)
• 1 tablespoon of chili powder
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of fresh minced cilantro

Directions:

1. Set oven to 400°F.
2. In a small bowl, mix all of the spices together (garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt.)
3. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place salmon filet onto the pan.
4. Drizzle the honey on top of the salmon filet. With your hands or a spatula, spread the honey evenly all over the salmon.
5. Next, sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
6. Evenly distribute the sliced lime over the top of the salmon. Now, sprinkle the fresh minced cilantro over the top.
7. Place into the oven and cook for about 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
8. Enjoy!
