Best Salmon With Chilli Lime Butter Recipes

CHILI LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (see below for grilling**). Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of parchment paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil. Lay salmon on top and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Rub chili powder, smoked paprika and cumin on salmon and slide lime slices halfway underneath the salmon, as pictured.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and honey and drizzle evenly over salmon. Sprinkle with half of the cilantro, fold parchment paper or foil sides up to prevent juices from leaking through (does not have to cover salmon). (Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes if you have time.)
• For a complete meal with vegetables (omit this step if not making vegetables) - spread sheet pan with asparagus and broccoli florets and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and move the vegetables to the side, making room for the salmon. Place the salmon in the middle of the sheet pan and slide lime slices underneath the salmon. Place another sheet of foil loosely over the salmon
• Bake for 12-16 minutes (depending on how large your fish is), or until the salmon is flaky to your desired doneness but try not overcook. Open the foil and turn oven to broil - cooking for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
• Cut into sections and discard skin and serve immediately with more chopped parsley, season with more salt (if needed) and a splash of lime

CHILI-LIME BAKED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. (see notes)
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the lime juice, red pepper flakes, honey, garlic, and salt. Allow the lime juice to reduce to 1 tablespoon. Add in 1 tablespoon of butter, remove pan from heat and swirl so the butter strts to melt. Place back on the heat for a few seconds, removed and continue to swirl until butter completely melts. Repeat with second tablespoon of butter. When butter is completely melted, remove sauce from stove.
• Place the salmon filet in a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Using a brush or spoon, brush the salmon with the lime butter sauce. Season with the cumin powder, lime zest, and chili powder. Cover with foil so that all sides are properly closed so the sauce does not leak.
• Bake the salmon for 12-14 minutes or until firm. Open the foil and allow the fish to broil under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it so the fish does not burn. Remove from oven, top with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

ONE TRAY OVEN BAKED HONEY CHILI LIME SALMON WITH POTATOES AND BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F and place a large rimmed baking tray in the oven.
• Combine the Marinade ingredients in a bowl or ziplock bag. Add the salmon and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes (while the potatoes are roasting). (Note 2)
• Toss the Roast Potato ingredients in a bowl. Remove the tray from the oven and pour the potatoes onto the tray. Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. (Note 3)
• Combine the Beans ingredients into bowl you used for the potatoes (so residual butter sticks to beans) and toss.
• Remove salmon from the Marinade, reserving the Marinade.
• Remove tray from the oven. Move the potatoes to one side and place the salmon in the middle, skin side down. Pile the beans into one corn of the tray (don't spread them out, they will overcook).
• Sprinkle over the salt and pepper all over everything on the tray.
• Drizzle some Marinade on each salmon, then place the tray into the oven and bake for 4 minutes per 1/2 inch / 5 minutes per 1.5 cm of thickness (thickest part of the salmon). My salmon was 1.25 inches / 3 cm thick so I baked it for 10 minutes. (Note 4)
• Turn the grill/broiler onto maximum. (Note 5) Drizzle the remaining Marinade onto the salmon and grill for 2 minutes or until light golden on top.
• Rest for 3 minutes. Use a grater to grate frozen chili and lime zest over the salmon. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

LIME & GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Mix the lime juice, ginger, garlic, soy and vinegar with some black pepper. Pour half over the salmon fillets and leave to marinate for 10 mins.
• Heat the grill to High. Lay the salmon on a non-stick baking tray and grill for 5-6 mins each side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, heat a wok with the remaining marinade and the stock, add the baby corn and broccoli, stir-fry for about 5 mins, then add the pak choi and cook for 2 mins more.
• Serve the salmon on top of the vegetables with any sauce from the pan and sprinkle with the spring onions.

GRILLED SALMON WITH LIME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
• Season salmon all over with salt and pepper, then grill, flesh sides down, on lightly oiled grill rack (covered only if using gas grill) 4 minutes. Turn fillets over and grill (covered only if using gas grill) until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes more. Sprinkle fillets with zest and top each with 1 tablespoon lime butter sauce.

SALMON WITH LIME HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Finely grate zest from one lime, and squeeze its juice; set aside. Cut remaining lime into 8 wedges; set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine butter, ginger, 8 sprigs cilantro and lime zest and juice. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; process again. Mound butter on a piece of foil, and shape into a cylinder. Cover tightly with foil, and place in freezer.
• Brush a baking sheet with oil, and place salmon fillets skin side down on sheet. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake until fish flakes easily, about 8 minutes.
• To serve, remove lime butter from freezer, and cut into thick rounds. Place a fillet on each of four plates and top each with an equal portion of lime butter. Garnish each plate with two lime wedges and a sprig of cilantro, and serve.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
• Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
• As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
• Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.
