Description
Enjoy this delicious grilled salmon recipe featuring lime and cilantro for a fresh taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces center cut salmon fillet
- 1 medium lime (sliced thin for nestling under salmon)
- 1/2 cup red bell peppers (may be substituted with other peppers, zucchini, broccoli, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lime (zested and juiced)
- to taste kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (finely minced; plus more for garnishing if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat oven to 425F.
- Place 1 large sheet of foil on the counter, add the salmon to the center, nestle the lime slices from 1 lime under the salmon, arrange the peppers around the perimeter, evenly drizzle everything with olive oil, evenly sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon lime zest and the juice from the second lime.
- Evenly sprinkle with salt, pepper, cilantro, seal up the foil pack very tightly, place it on the grill and grill for about 8 to 10 minutes. Exact grilling time will vary based on the type of grill, the size, the heat level, how thick the salmon is, etc.
- If you’re baking this in the oven, I would start checking at 15 minutes and go from there.
- Optionally garnish with additional cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
- For perfect grilling, check the salmon’s thickness to adjust time accordingly.
- This recipe can be easily customized with different vegetables.
