This slimming-friendly Chilli and Lime Baked Salmon is so quick and easy to make, and it’s a great mid-week meal if you’re calorie counting or following a plan like Weight Watchers.

Chilli and lime is a great combination to have with salmon, but if you’re not a fan you can use chicken instead, it’s just as good! Don’t forget to adjust the cooking time if you’re using chicken. It will probably take an extra 5 – 10 minutes depending on the size, so you may need to remove the peppers and onion so they don’t over cook.

Sukrin 1 doesn’t have that strange after taste that a lot of artificial sweeteners do! It also shares the exact same sweetness and weight to sugar – which makes it really easy to substitute in recipes like this Chilli and Lime Baked Salmon.
If you are using a powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners weigh less.

How is this 30g carbs? There are practically no carbs in this recipe. Am I missing an ingredient?
HollyFriday 16th October 2020
Hi Averil, I have had a look at this recipe and it is now correct on the recipe page. Thank you for your message

Hi when I make the Nandos spicy rice my rice still seems a bit undercooked when the liquid is gone. Is there something I can do to make it a bit softer.
HollyMonday 27th July 2020
Hi Amanda, Once you have brought the pan to the boil make sure you cover with a lid and turn to a low simmer to let it slowly cook. If it’s still a little hard add a little more water and continue to cook on low with the lid. Hope that helps!
PaulineMonday 2nd July 2018
