How to Make Baked Salmon With Lime Jalapeno Chive And Sour Cream Sauce
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
- Grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Place salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) in the prepared dish, skin-side down.

- Brush the lime-butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Let the salmon stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Bake for 9 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon bakes, prepare the sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add 2-3 jalapeños, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), and cook until softened, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and cook until heated through, being careful not to boil.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the baked salmon to a serving platter.
- Spoon the sauce generously over the salmon.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped chives and lime wedges.
