Roast Salmon With Lime Salsa

The flavors of this dish merry in pure sunshine! This is how Salmon should taste and Chef Grace Parisi, known for her easy and fabulous sauces, really out did herself this time. Salmon generally pairs well with red; here the tangy lime and sweet red onion salsa tune the choice to a bright fruity Burgundy or Pinot Noir. Two excellent choices are the 1998 Louis Jadot Chorey-lès-Beaune from France and the 1998 Coldstream Hills Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from Australia.

Just an outstanding recipe Cheryl! We loved this! I made the salsa early in the day and refrigerated it. The flavours blended so well and paired with fish or chicken, this is fantastic. Wayne had the salmon, and I had the salsa on a grilled chicken breast and it was sooooo good! I did have to use white onion as I was out of red, but it still turned out to be a wonderful dish. Made for ZWT 3

    This was delicious! I wasn't sure about the salsa but it was perfect with the simple baked salmon. The market had no red onions so I made do with small yellow onions. Would be prettier with the red but the other worked out very nice flavour wise. Will definitely be serving this again. Easy enough for every day, good enough for company.

    This was really tasty! I made mine without cilantro as I realised too late that cilantro is actually corriander leaf and so didn't get any in. Even without though it was really tasty and really perked up my salmon. I will definitely have this again - probably with tuna and other fish too. My only qualm (perhaps cos of the missing cilantro, but I can't imagine that's the reason) was that it was a bit dry and I had to add a bit more lime juice. Perhaps my limes were just not ripe enough or something. Either way, this was a really tasty dish and the lime salsa is a definite keeper. Thanks NcMysteryShopper!

    This was simple, delicious, and pretty. The hardest part was peeling the limes, lol. A very nice salsa to accompany the salmon. Thanks NcMysteryShopper for a dish that we will indeed repeat. Made for ZWT3.
