Gin & Tonic Roasted Salmon with Lime Cilantro Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup, separated into (2) 1/4 cups Gin
- 1.5 lbs salmon
- 1/2 cup tonic
- 1/2 cup gin, separated into (2) 1/4 cups
- 3 limes, juiced and zested
- 1 cup cilantro
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small jalapeno, finely diced
- Salt to taste
Directions:
Because all the alcohol is removed this is family-friendly and one of my kiddos favorites. Serves 4-6. Prep time 10 min. Cook time 20 min.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a large pyrex baking dish with parchment paper. Clean the salmon. Damp Dry. Add salmon to the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the gin, tonic, juice of 1 lime, and pour over the salmon. 4. Sprinkle with kosher salt and the lime zest.
- Bake for 18 minutes.
- While the salmon is cooking, add gin to a small sauce pan on medium heat and reduce to remove the alcohol, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a food processor, add reduced gin, lime, jalapeno, olive oil and cilantro. Blend for 2 minutes.
- Remove salmon from the oven, top with sauce, and serve with white rice and roasted vegetables.
