LIME-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON



Lime-Marinated Grilled Salmon image

The fresh lime juice and mustard add a nice tang to this moist and flaky grilled salmon. I came up with this marinade after tasting something similar at a friend's house and it is now one of our favorite ways to do fish. You may also use other firm fish steaks instead of salmon; halibut, tuna and swordfish all work well.

THE EASIEST SPICY LIME GRILLED SALMON



The Easiest Spicy Lime Grilled Salmon image

An easy weeknight salmon recipe with just a few ingredients!

Provided by Jessie

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lime
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1.5 lbs. Wild Alaskan Salmon (I used sockeye salmon!)
(optional) extra lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Use a microplane to zest the lime and toss the zest into a small mixing bowl.
  • Juice the lime, adding the lime juice to the lime zest.
  • Add olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to lime juice and whisk to combine.
  • Lay salmon in a small baking dish (I like to use a glass container with an airtight lid) and pour the marinade over the fish. Turn the salmon to coat and make sure it's covered in marinade. If you have skin on the salmon, place the filet skin side up so that the marinade can soak in.
  • Cover salmon with the airtight lid and store in the fridge for thirty minutes to an hour or until you're ready to eat.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until it's piping hot (you could also use your outdoor grill). Use a heat-resistant pastry brush to brush olive oil over the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Remove fish from marinade and place it on the hot grill pan. Let it cook - without touching it! - for 5-7 minutes (see recipe notes) until salmon has lightened in color. Use a thin spatula to pick up the fish and flip it over on the grill. (If you've oiled your grill, the salmon shouldn't stick too much once those nice grill marks have developed). Cook for another 5-7 minutes until fish is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  • Remove salmon from the grill and serve immediately with extra lime wedges (optional). You could also add an extra sprinkle of flaky salt or red pepper flakes to the fish if you like.
