vegetable oil
1 lime
1 tbsp mayonnaise, or regular sour cream
1/4 tsp oregano leaves
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp chipotle or regular Tabasco sauce
180 g skinless salmon fillet
2 tsp finely chopped fresh basil, or coriander
Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Lightly coat a pie plate or small baking dish with oil. Cut lime in half. Set one half aside. Squeeze out juice from other lime half into a small bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, oregano, cumin, salt and Tabasco.
Place salmon on pie plate. Spoon mayonnaise mixture overtop. Bake in centre of preheated oven until a knife tip inserted into centre of fish comes out warm, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and squeeze juice from reserved lime half overtop. Great with jasmine-scented rice and avocado slices.
