Steps:
- Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a nonstick skillet and place over medium-high heat. Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish and the degree of doneness you like. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the honey, soy, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and half of the lime zest and juice. Cook, stirring, until the butter melts and starts to bubble. Cook for a minute until the sauce thickens a little. Add the salmon and spoon over the sauce. Cook for another minute, basting as you go. Sprinkle generously with the cilantro.
- Stir the remaining lime juice and zest into the cooked rice. Serve the salmon with the rice, extra sauce and lime wedges on the side.
CUMIN-ROASTED SALMON WITH CILANTRO SAUCE
Roasting a whole fillet of fish might seem like a weekend-only treat, but cooking salmon this way is a luxury you should allow yourself on any old Tuesday, as it requires no additional preparation or skill. Be sure to slather the vinegary herb sauce on the still-warm salmon to allow the warm spices and fresh herbs to get to know each other better.

ROASTED SALMON WITH JALAPEñO, HONEY AND LIME
This is speedy weeknight salmon with a kick, thanks to sliced jalapeño, which flavors the honey glaze and cooks alongside the salmon. The chiles caramelize as they roast, becoming spicy and sweet. If you want to reduce the heat slightly, use two jalapeños instead of three. Serve with steamed white or brown rice, spooning the extra glaze over the salmon and rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. While the oven heats, combine the honey, jalapeños, vinegar and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Brush a 9-by-9-inch baking pan (or other similar-size baking pan or dish) with olive oil, then place the fillets in the pan, arranging them evenly without crowding. Brush the fillets generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Pour the glaze and jalapeños over the salmon, spooning some of the glaze onto the fish as it collects in the bottom of the pan.
- Roast the salmon for 6 minutes, then baste with the glaze. Return to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Spoon the glaze in the pan over the salmon, then squeeze the lime over the salmon, and sprinkle with salt and cilantro, if using. Serve hot with rice on the side, pouring any glaze that remains in the pan over the rice.

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:
- Select the freshest salmon possible: Look for salmon with bright, firm flesh and no fishy odor.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a robust flavor that will complement the salmon.
- Don't skimp on the lime juice: The lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salmon that helps to balance out the richness of the fish.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro has a much more vibrant flavor than dried cilantro, so it's worth using it if you can.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it just until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Conclusion:
Roasted salmon with lime and cilantro is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. The salmon is roasted to perfection and the lime and cilantro add a bright, citrusy flavor that complements the fish perfectly. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or rice.
