Instructions:
-
Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow glass dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the lime juice, beer, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and diced onions. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are completely coated. Turn the fillets several times to evenly distribute the marinade.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) in preparation for baking the salmon.
-
Bake the Salmon:
- Once marinated, remove the salmon fillets from the dish and discard any excess marinade.
- Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
-
Grill Option:
- Alternatively, you can grill the marinated salmon on a barbecue for a smoky flavor. Simply preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the salmon for the same amount of time, flipping halfway through, until done.
-
Prepare the Salsa:
- While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salsa by mixing together the diced green pepper, chunky salsa, and remaining chopped cilantro in a bowl.
- Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.
-
Serve:
- Once the salmon is cooked through, remove it from the oven or grill.
- To serve, spoon a generous amount of the prepared salsa over each piece of salmon.
- Garnish with additional cilantro leaves, if desired.
