Broiled Salmon Fillets with Lime Salsa

Packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids but low in sodium, salmon is a healthy choice for the whole family. Jazz it up with some tangy lime salsa, add a fresh green salad and you’ve got a tasty meal.

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 pounds fresh salmon fillets, quartered
• ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
• 1 jar chunky green salsa or pico de gallo
• 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions, including tops
• 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler. Place fillets, skin side up, in large casserole dish. Pour 1/2 cup lime juice over fillets. Set aside. Lightly spray broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. Pour salsa into small bowl; mix in remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice, green onions and cilantro. Set aside.

3. Arrange fillets, skin side up, on prepared broiler pan. Broil 6 inches from heat 4 to 5 minutes or until skin has begun to brown and char slightly. Remove pan; turn fillets over. Return to broiler 6 to 8 minutes or until fillets have begun to brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately with lime salsa. Makes 4 servings.
