Oven Baked Salmon Recipe with Jalapeno and Lime
Description
The Oven Baked Salmon Recipe with Jalapeno and Lime highlights a wild-caught salmon fillet topped with a mixture of olive oil, lime zest, garlic, and freshly grated jalapeño. The ingredients provide a zesty and mildly spicy layer that enhances the natural flavor of the fish. Baking at 400°F on parchment prevents sticking and keeps the salmon moist without drying it out.
After baking for 10 to 14 minutes to just reach doneness, the fish is finished with a squeeze of lime juice that adds brightness and fresh acidity. The texture remains tender while the seasoning layers provide a subtle heat and garlic aroma. This dish can serve well as a main course paired with simple sides or salads.
Leftover salmon can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days and enjoyed cold or reheated gently in the microwave. The dish is practical for meal prep or quick dinners while maintaining fresh flavors from lime and jalapeño.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon fillet wild caught, whole
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime zest, and juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño grated
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the salmon fillet on it. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Whisk the oil, lime zest, and garlic together. Grate the jalapeño and smell for spiciness. If it is very spicy (or you are sensitive to spice) add only half the grated pepper. Otherwise, add it all to the oil mixture. Pour the mixture over the salmon fillet and salt the pepper liberally.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, until just cooked through, but not dry. Squeeze lime juice over the top and serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftover salmon in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or serve cold with a salad for convenience.
