    Soooo yummy! I used a thick King Salmon fillet and baked it in the oven in a tin foil tent at 450 for about 15 minutes. It turned out perfect. I highly recommend reapplying a few brush strokes of the key lime butter right before plating. I paired the salmon with baked red potato slices brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with herbes de provence, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. The potatoes cook for 25 minutes at 450 also so the 2 bake very nicely together. You're supposed to flip the potatoes about halfway through so I just put the salmon in the oven at the same time I flipped the potatoes. I also served steam broccoli with the salmon and potatoes. The 3 flavors together were to die for. My fiance and I agreed it was one of the best dinners we've ever had. I highly recommend trying it. So easy:

    So simplistic, so delicious. My family does not usually like salmon, but everyone (18-month-old included loved this. Will definitely make it again.
