This baked salmon recipe with cumin, paprika, and lime juice is quickly marinated and then baked at 375F for ~ 15 minutes. Serve salmon with cumin with a fresh corn & tomato salad.

Ingredients

  • 4 fillets (~ 2 lb) salmon, skin on and pin bones removed
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp e.v. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, and salt in a small bowl.  Rub onto salmon and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Bake covered ~ 13-18 minutes (depending on thickness) or until fish is flaky.  
  • Add salt to taste.  Garnish with lime wedges.

Notes

  • Serve over a bed of mixed greens with Corn & Tomato Salad.
  • Salmon cooking time will vary depending on thickness and kind of salmon.  Wild salmon cooks faster than farm raised, generally due to fat content.  Play with cooking time based on thickness and wild vs. farm raised.
