Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces lime wedges (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground coriander, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly onto the flesh side of each salmon fillet.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

While the salmon is baking, prepare the lime cream. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and fresh cilantro until smooth. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt, if desired.

Step 8

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve each salmon fillet with a generous dollop of the lime cream on top and a lime wedge on the side, if using.
