Easy 4
My latest salmon dinner recipe has a Cuban cocktail flair to it. This simple four-ingredient mojito salmon recipe is a moist and refreshing seafood dinner that's ready in about 30 minutes.
Cuba is said to be the birthplace of the mojito, although the refreshing mint and lime cocktail's exact origin is still unknown. Apparently, South American Indians seeking remedies for various tropical illnesses went ashore on Cuba and came back with ingredients to use as medicine: aguardiente de caña ("burning water," a form of rum made from sugar cane) mixed with local ingredients including lime, sugarcane juice and mint. Delicious medicine, to be sure!
The shopping list for this mojito salmon recipe includes fresh salmon, fresh mint leaves, fresh lime juice and olive oil. You prepare the mojito-style sauce then bake the salmon in the sauce for about 20 minutes – and cheers! You've got a savory salmon dinner with flavor that will make you say muchas gracias.
Serve this succulent salmon with your favorite vegetables and side dishes (I served it over plain white rice with a side of honey-roasted beets). I hope you enjoy this festive and flavorful seafood dinner as much as we did!
