Roasted Tomatillo Salmon

Roasted Tomatillo Salmon is a delightful fusion of vibrant flavors and healthy ingredients, perfect for a light yet satisfying meal. Begin by selecting a fresh salmon fillet, seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast the salmon until it reaches a tender, flaky perfection. Meanwhile, prepare a zesty tomatillo sauce by blending roasted tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, and a hint of lime juice. Once the salmon is ready, generously spoon the tomatillo sauce over the top, allowing the tangy and slightly spicy notes to complement the rich, buttery texture of the fish. Serve this dish with a side of warm corn tortillas or a fresh salad for a complete meal that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine.
