Chili Lime Baked Salmon is a complete dinner all made on one tray!
Because it wouldnt be a complete meal without some greens!
I swear, youd pay $30 for that at a fancy restaurant.

And Ill go to that effort for a real fancy dinner party when Im cooking to impress.
BUT for midweek, I dont have the time or energy.
Too much washing up!
So for midweek, this is more the bang out of meal I make.
Tastes fantastic, its healthy and its a complete meal all made on one baking tray.
The trick with one tray baked dinners is timing it so everything is perfectly cooked at the same time.
That way you get golden roast potatoes without overcooking the salmon and beans.
The salmon is lightly marinated just for 20 minutes in lime.
If you marinate it for much longer, then the lime sort of cures the surface of the salmon.
Definitely do not marinate it overnight.
The acid in the lime juice changes the texture of the flesh, almost breaking it down.
Other proteins can handle it, but fish is too delicate.
I love the combination of chili, garlic, honey and lime.
Its a classic combination fresh, zesty and perfect for seafood.
Just pop chilis in the freezer, then you could grate them straight into or onto whatever you need.

I call it chili dust and I love it!
I hardly ever finely chop chilis anymore.
Oh and the beans.

Yes, I crammed beans on the tray too, to make it a complete meal!
Just pile them into a corner of the tray, that way they kind of steam.
Hope your week isnt looking too hectic!
