Can I make my own spice blend for this recipe?

Absolutely! If you can’t find the pre-made spice blend, make your own seasoning by combining 1 teaspoon each of: garlic powder, cumin, coriander, and salt. Mix these spices together in a small bowl and use in place of the Goya Sazón. You won’t have that gorgeous orange color but it will still taste delicious.

Can I use bottled lime juice?

Fresh lime juice is best! You’ll need the zest from fresh limes anyways, so pick up 2-3 limes to use in this recipe.

Can I serve this salmon without the skin?

Definitely. I like the crunchiness from the cooked skin, but if you prefer salmon without the skin, pull it off before topping with the cilantro mixture. You can also use skinless salmon fillets to avoid the hassle of removing the skin.
