Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets (skin on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (for dressing)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper (for dressing)
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375–400°F (190–200°C). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for 4–5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 3–5 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the creamy lime dressing. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, lime zest, honey, chopped cilantro, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a minute or two.
Serve the grilled salmon fillets topped with a generous drizzle of creamy lime dressing. Garnish with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty kick.
Enjoy your Grilled Salmon with Creamy Lime Dressing with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad!
