At the last book club Mrs. Braspir served a cilantro lime salmon and it was fantastic. I was meaning to ask her for the recipe, but never did. Then this one came up in my recipe selection and I feel like it was really close.
Salmon rarely needs that much to it for it to be good. When I crave salmon I usually make my old stand by - which is also delicious.
What I didn't do is put this in the microwave. That seems sacrilegious to me. Instead I put it in the oven at 400. I also put a little lime juice in the sauce because, well, why not?
Cilantro-Lime Salmon

Serves 2
- 2 T sour cream
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 T minced fresh cilantro

- 1/8 tsp salt
- Dash ground cumin
- Dash pepper
- Dash crushed red pepper flakes

In a small bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Place fillets skin side down in a greased 1-1/2-qt. microwave-safe dish; top with sour cream mixture.
