Cilantro Crema
- In a food processor combine the sour cream, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro and salt. Pulse 10 to 12 times until the jalapeño is finely chopped and the cilantro is blended in to the sour cream.

- Place salmon on a non-stick baking sheet and spray with olive oil spray or cooking spray. Roast until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
