Equipment

  • baking pan
  • Food processor

Ingredients
  

For the Salmon

  • 2 pounds skinless salmon fillet
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • 1 large tomato sliced into rounds
  • ½ lime lime sliced into rounds

For the Garlic Cilantro Sauce

  • 4 to 6 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro roughly chopped (tender stems included)
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime lime juiced
  • to taste Kosher salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Lightly oil a baking pan and place the salmon on top. Set aside at room temperature while you heat the oven and make the cilantro sauce. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • In the bowl of a small food processor, add all of the ingredients for the garlic cilantro sauce. Blend until everything is well combined into a sauce.
  • Sprinkle the salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Now spoon the garlic-cilantro sauce on top and spread evenly to coat the salmon.
  • Arrange the tomato and lime slices on top of the salmon fillet.
  • Place the baking pan in the top half of your heated oven, bake until the thickest part of your salmon flakes with a fork, about 8 minutes for a 1-inch piece of fish. An instant read thermometer should read somewhere between 125°F and 130°F. Remove the pan and carefully cover with foil. Let rest for another 5 to 8 minutes or so to finish cooking.
  • Serve the salmon with more garlic cilantro sauce on the side. Enjoy!
