Salmon with lime and soy sauce

There's a by-election going on tonight in Calgary which means I got home late from voting and need a quick dinner. Here's another great way to spice up salmon if it is getting boring.

Serves 4

4 skin-on salmon fillets
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp soy sauce (I use Kikkoman's gluten free, but VH is also a gf alternative)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (I usually use the tube stuff from the vegetable aisle)

Preheat overn to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar; fold in cilantro. The recipe says to add this sauce on after the salmon is cooked but I like to add about a tablespoon before  so it gets to soak in nice and good. It adds a lovely flavour.

Arrange salmon in a shallow baking dish (line with foil to make clean up easier). Season with pepper. Spoon 1-2 Tbsp of sauce over salmon.

Roast salmon in oven until no longer pink in the middle, about 10-13 minutes. Using a flat spatula, remove fillets, leaving skin on the baking sheet.

Spoon the remainder of sauce over salmon. Goes great with sauteed sugar snap peas (recipe to follow) or asparagus (so I'm told, I think asparagus is nasty).
