Oh, salmon. Juicy, flaky, melt-in-your-mouth salmon. It’s only been one day since I made you, but you’re still on my mind!
This baked salmon recipe is so flavorful and simple to make that I can easily throw it together on a weeknight. To maximize my time, I’ll make the salsa while the salmon is marinating and then make any sides while it’s baking in the oven.
I like to serve this on a bed of greens or with Skinnytaste’s Cilantro Lime Rice and a side of roasted asparagus. I hope you enjoy it!
(Fun fact: Did you know that salmon is not only full of protein and omega-3 fats, but a 4 oz serving of wild salmon can provide a full day’s worth of Vitamin D?)
