Meal 1
Baked Honey Cilantro Lime Salmon in Foil
PREP TIME 5 MINUTES
COOK TIME 20 MINUTES
TOTAL TIME 25 MINUTES
SERVINGS 6 PEOPLE
Ingredients
1 large salmon fillet (see note)
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup butter, melted (see note)
juice of 2 limes (plus one lime, thinly sliced)
4 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/3 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line and grease a large baking sheet with foil. Lay salmon on foil and season with salt and pepper on both sides to taste. Slip lime slices underneath the salmon.
Stir together butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic. Pour mixture over salmon. Fold sides of foil up over the salmon (don't worry if it doesn't cover the salmon completely).
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Switch oven to broil and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.
Recipe Notes
Don't stress about the size of your salmon fillet. This recipe is very forgiving and works for one very large salmon, a couple of medium-sized fillets, or even several small individual fillets.
For an even lighter version, you can cut back the butter to 4 tablespoons instead of a half cup (8 tablespoons). Keep in mind though that for a very large salmon fillet like the one I used, 8 tablespoons is not a terribly huge amount when divided between 4-6 servings.

Fresh Peach Salsa
1 lb tomatoes, diced 1 bell pepper (4 oz), seeded and finely diced 2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced 1 medium onion, finely diced 1 1/2 lbs peaches, diced 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped 2 Tbsp lime juice 1 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
Chop tomatoes and transfer them to a large bowl.
Finely chop seeded bell pepper and jalapeños. Finely chop onion and transfer all your veggies to the bowl.
Dice the peaches. I liked the slightly larger dice for peaches to give them more of the center stage in this salsa. No need to peel them. You won't notice the peels and the color is prettier with the peel on. Transfer peaches to your bowl.
Add 1/2 bunch chopped cilantro, 2 Tbsp lime juice, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Add more salt and pepper to taste if desired. Fold everything together until well mixed and enjoy!

Sopa De Lima (Mexican Lime Soup)
Ingredients
9 cups chicken broth
5 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 large red onion, quartered

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Directions
Prep 20 m
Cook 45 m
Ready In 1 h 5 m
Bring the chicken broth, chicken breasts, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and thyme to a boil in a large pot; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-sized strips; return to the simmering pot.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the green onions and green chile pepper in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the tomatoes into the mixture and continue cooking until soft, about 5 minute more; pour the mixture into the pot with the chicken soup. Season with the salt; return the soup to a simmer. Add the lime juice and 1/2 a lime; cook another 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and remove the lime half; stir in the cilantro to serve.
