A delightful salmon dish with a tangy lime and herb sauce, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the salmon inside for even cooking.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon at the 10-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the juice of the limes, soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Warming the lime juice slightly can help dissolve the sugar faster.
Stir in the chopped cilantro into the sauce.
Chop the cilantro finely for a more even distribution in the sauce.
Serve the baked salmon with the lime and herb sauce drizzled over the top.
Garnish with extra cilantro leaves for a fresh presentation.
