Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (freshly grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the marinade is well blended.
Place the salmon fillets in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving platter. Optionally, sprinkle with lime zest and fresh cilantro for garnish.
Serve the Lime and Ginger Grilled Salmon immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
