Cilantro Lime Salmon

lime

smoked paprika

chili powder

salt

pepper

butter (unsalted, melted)

limes

honey

garlic (minced)

salmon (1 large fillet)

cilantro (chopped)

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the lime slices on the bottom of the sheet in a long line, we will place the salmon over this.

Prep the rub and sauce: In a small bowl whisk together the paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. In another bowl, stir together butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic. 

Prep the salmon: Rub the salmon on both sides with the dry rub then lay it over the lime slices on the baking sheet. Pour the honey/lime sauce evenly over the salmon. Fold the sides of foil up over the salmon, we don&#x27;t want to cover the salmon just keep the sauce from spilling over.

Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Switch oven to broil and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

Make the cilantro lime marinade.

Make the cilantro lime marinade. In a small food processor, pulse together the cilantro, lime zest and juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add additional olive oil as needed until you reach a smooth consistency.

Marinate.

Marinate. Place the salmon portions in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add the marinade to the bag, press out any excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours (not any longer.)

Preheat.

Preheat. When ready to cook the salmon, prepare your grill for indirect cooking at medium heat. Your target temperature in your grill should be around 375 to 400 degrees F.

Grill.

Grill. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on your grill, skin side down. Use a spoon to spread any additional marinade on top of the salmon. Grill for 8-10 minutes (without flipping) or until the salmon is done. Your salmon is finished when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. The flesh will appear opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Enjoy.

Enjoy. Serve immediately with freshly sliced lime wedges and additional cilantro, if desired.
