This perfectly baked salmon recipe is a light and flavorful meal you can make in 20 minutes. The salmon is tender and flaky, and the lime marinade is refreshing and tangy with heat from the chili powder.
Pre-heat the oven to 400 F . Double line a baking sheet with foil.
Pat dry salmon fillet with a kitchen towel and place it on the prepared sheet.
Spoon over a couple of tablespoon of the prepared marinade and spread evenly.
Bake for 8 minutes. Then broil in the upper rack for another 2 minutes.
While the salmon is baking, add 2 tablespoons of water to the remaining marinade and add it to a saucepan. Cook it for 2-3 inutes until it has reduced to almost half.
Once the salmon is done, spoon over the reduced marinade. Serve with lime wedges and fresh chopped cilantro.
