Baked salmon with lime, jalapeño, chive, and sour cream sauce is a recipe that combines fresh and spicy flavors that highlight the delicacy of the fish. This dish has its roots in the cuisine of the Pacific coast, where salmon is abundant and used in various preparations. In different regions of Latin America, this dish may have various names, although the essence remains. For example, in Mexico and Central America, it is common to refer to this type of preparation simply as "baked salmon with lime sauce." In other countries like Chile or Argentina, where salmon is also highly valued, it can be found under similar names accompanied by preparations with fresh and spicy sauces. The mix of fresh ingredients like jalapeño and chives with the creaminess of the sour cream and the citrus touch of lime make this dish unique and delicious.
