Lime-Marinated Grilled Salmon
Lime-Marinated Grilled Salmon pairs bright citrus with a gentle kick of Dijon and spices, which highlights the rich, flaky fish without overpowering it. Zingy lime and warm ginger-cayenne notes create a balanced marinade that caramelizes lightly on the grill. Ideal for a weeknight dinner or casual cookout, it’s flavorful, fresh, and versatile enough for other firm fish.
