Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 6 oz. salmon fish fillets
  • 1 package McCormick Fajita seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 3 bell peppers sliced (any color combo)
  • 1/2 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Tomatoes
  • Avocados
  • Guacamole
  • sour cream
  • hot sauce
  • black beans
  • Rice
  • tortillas

Instructions

  1. Combine fajita seasoning with salt and cayenne pepper, then set aside.
  2. Mix all marinade ingredients in a shallow dish, reserving 1 tablespoon for vegetables. Marinate salmon in remaining marinade for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Heat oven to 400 degrees F and prepare baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.
  4. Spread onions and bell peppers on the baking sheet, season with reserved fajita seasoning salt and drizzle with olive oil and reserved marinade, then toss to coat. Roast vegetables for 5 to 10 minutes based on salmon thickness.
  5. Stir vegetables and push them to one side of the pan. Place salmon on the other side and rub with remaining fajita seasoning. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
  6. Broil salmon and vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly charred and golden. Spoon cilantro lime butter evenly over the salmon and season to taste.
  7. Serve salmon and veggies with tortillas, rice, or salad and garnish with optional toppings as desired.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
