Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.25 Cups fresh lime juice
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) Dijon mustard
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) ginger, ground
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Place the salmon steaks in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the salmon is well coated, and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the salmon steaks for 5 to 10 minutes per side, depending on their thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
