Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven’s broiler and place a rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 15-20 minutes (optional for deeper flavor).
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Step 5
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the leftover marinade.
Step 6
Broil the salmon for 5-6 minutes, then brush it with the reserved marinade. Return the salmon to the oven and broil for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is caramelized on top and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
