Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush or rub the marinade evenly over both sides of each salmon fillet. Cover and let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop grill marks.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
