Notes

  • It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare the marinade for this recipe and only requires 7 ingredients!
  • Make sure you line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat, parchment paper, or aluminum foil, for easy cleanup.
  • Don't cook the salmon pieces close to each other otherwise it won't cook evenly. Leave some space in between each piece.
  • Season the salmon with kosher salt before adding the sauce.
  • Not a fan of lime juice? Use lemon juice instead.
  • Garnish with green onions, parsley, or fresh chives.
