Ingredients

  • 2 lb side of salmon
  • olive oil
  • 2 limes
  • salt
salsa
  • 10 strawberries finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, minced (use seeds and veins for extra heat, remove them for less heat)
  • 2 thin slices of red onion, minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F
  2. Put the salmon on a baking sheet. Slice 2 limes in very thin slices and tuck under the salmon, all the way around.
  3. Brush the salmon generously with olive oil and season with salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact time is going to depend on how thick your fish is. I run it under the broiler for the last few minutes to get some browning, if necessary.
  4. While the salmon roasts you can make the salsa. Combine the ingredients in a bowl and toss. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients. Note: don't make the salsa too far in advance or the berries will start to degrade.
  5. Top the salmon with the salsa and serve.

Notes

  • What to serve with this salmon:
  •  
  • If you'd prefer to grill your salmon:
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt.
  • Place the salmon, skin side down, directly on the grill grates (or on a piece of oiled heavy duty foil or a greased grill pan if you're concerned about sticking.)
  • Grill the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. There's no need to flip it.
  • Carefully remove the salmon from the grill using a large spatula or two smaller ones.
