Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 piece(s) (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 clove(s) garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 4 slice(s) lime slices (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is coated evenly.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down (if the fillets have skin). Discard the excess marinade.
Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The edges may become slightly crispy, adding a delicious texture to the dish.
Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime slices, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
