Salmon With Pepita-Lime Butter

WebMD Recipe from EatingWell.com

Lime juice, chili powder and pepitas give this salmon Mexican flair. Serve with wild rice and steamed vegetables.

Ingredients

Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes

2 tablespoons
unsalted pepitas
1 tablespoon
butter
1/2 teaspoon
freshly grated lime zest
2 tablespoons
lime juice
1/4 teaspoon
chili powder
1 pound
salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Toast pepitas. Place in a small bowl with butter, lime zest, lime juice and chili powder.
Generously coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper, add to the pan and cook until browned and just cooked through in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the salmon to a plate. Add the butter-lime mixture to the hot pan; stir until the butter is melted. Serve the salmon topped with the sauce.
