Salmon with Lime Butter Recipe Lime juice, chili powder and pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds) give this salmon dish a Mexican touch. Best served with wild rice and steamed vegetables. Some people like to add more cilantro and chili powder for a more authentic flavor. Salmon delivers more omega-3 fatty acids to help keep arteries clear and hearts strong than any other popular fish. Omega-3 fatty acids can strengthen the immune system, eyesight and overall health. Ingredients - One pound salmon fillet, skinless, in 4 portions 2 tablespoons unsalted pepitas 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest 2 tablespoons lime juice 1/4 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper Cooking – Step 1 – Toast pepitas in a dry skillet and cook 2 to 4 minutes over low heat until browned. Place them in a bowl with butter, lime zest, lime juice and chili powder. Step 2 – Coat skillet with cooking spray and add salmon with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Move the salmon to a plate. Add butter-lime mix to the hot pan and stir until butter is melted. Serve hot topped with sauce.
