Steps:
- Place fish on plate.
- Combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, oil and salt in a bowl.
- Set 2 tablespoons aside in a separate bowl.
- Pour the cilantro mixture over the fish (do not use the 2 Tbsp reserved marinade).
- Cover and let it sit 10 minutes.
- Spray broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place salmon on rack and brush with 1 tablespoon marinade.
- Broil 6" from heat about 3-4 minutes.
- Turn steaks over and brush with remaining tablespoon of marinade.
- Broil 3 more minutes or until cooked through.
- Note: I have used two very thick salmon steaks instead of the four 3/4 inch thick ones that the recipe calls for, and I have used the same amount of marinade.
- However, since thicker steaks will take longer to cook, the marinade can burn.
- To compensate for this, I add a little bit of marinade at a time.
- For example, if the salmon steaks are 1- 1 1/2 inch thick or more, they can take around 10 minutes to cook.
- So I brush the salmon steaks with less marinade, around 1/2 tablespoon.
- I then remove them from the broiler after 2 1/2- 3 minutes, and add a little more marinade, reserving enough for two more applications.
- Then I broil for another 2 1/2 minutes.
- I then turn the salmon over and add more marinade, still reserving a little.
- I broil another 2 1/2 minutes.
- I then add the remaining marinade and broil the remaining 2 1/2 minutes or until cooked through.
- This may seem tiresome, but it's well worth it.
- The marinade is great and you definitely don't want it to burn!

Tips and Conclusion
When preparing the salmon, ensure it is fresh and of good quality. Look for firm flesh and bright, clear eyes. Always wash the salmon thoroughly before cooking to remove any bacteria or impurities.
Before baking the salmon, pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs like garlic powder, paprika or dried oregano.
To achieve crispy skin and moist flesh, bake the salmon at a high temperature for a short period of time. A good rule of thumb is to bake the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes per inch of thickness.
To make the cilantro-lime sauce, use fresh cilantro and lime juice for the best flavor. Finely chop the cilantro and grate the lime zest before squeezing the juice. Mix all the ingredients together and season to taste.
For a delicious side dish, serve the baked salmon with roasted vegetables, steamed rice or a fresh salad. The cilantro-lime sauce can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or as a marinade for chicken or shrimp.
In conclusion, this recipe for baked salmon with cilantro-lime sauce is a flavorful and healthy dish that is easy to prepare. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your salmon is cooked to perfection and that the cilantro-lime sauce is bursting with flavor. Enjoy this delicious meal with your family and friends!
