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
• 4 Salmon steaks, marinated
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt, divided
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh cilantro
• 1 Lime, sliced

Steps

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper until well combined. Add half of the kosher salt to the marinade for enhanced flavor.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. Season the salmon with the remaining kosher salt. Place the salmon steaks on the preheated grill.
5. Cook the Salmon: Grill the salmon for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks.
6. Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with sliced lime on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
