Coconut Lime Baked Salmon {Three Ingredients}

Are you guys sick of me saying how much I love coconut oil? Because I’m gonna say it again.  I really do kind of love it.  Not only did I use it on this super easy and delicious three ingredient Coconut Lime Salmon but I made more cookies with it yesterday (I know, more cookies?).  Unfortunately the stuff’s not cheap and I’m burning through it like there’s no tomorrow.   Sigh.  There goes that grocery budget I was trying to stick to. 

And salmon’s not too cheap either.  We don’t buy it a lot,  but every once and and a while we splurge and buy a bag of frozen filets from Costco. Their pre-packaged filets make them really easy to work with.  We don’t typically do much to salmon, other than drizzle it with a little olive oil and season it with salt and pepper.  But I’m tellin’ ya, a little coconut oil makes it melt-in-your-mouth good, and the fresh-squeezed lime juice adds a pop of fresh, tangy flavor.  Three ingredients to fancy my friends. 

And the flaked coconut on top, it’s optional.  So if you want to add it (which I recommend) it’s four ingredients to fancy.  Still pretty awesome.
