Lime Broiled Salmon Recipes

LIME-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, mustard, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate. Remove the salmon from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
• Grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes per side depending on thickness.

BROILED HONEY LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Marinate salmon: Combine ingredients for marinade (garlic, 3 Tbsp lime juice, soy sauce, 2 tsp honey, and cooking oil). Place salmon in a shallow bowl or baking dish and pour marinade over top, gently turning salmon to coat. (If using skin-on salmon, leave the skin-side up so that the flesh-side is in the marinade.)
• Transfer salmon to refrigerator and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Make glaze: While salmon marinates, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk together butter, 1 Tbsp honey, vinegar, salt, and cumin.
• Turn on the oven's broiler, placing a rack about 6 inches below the heat source.
• Line a sheet pan with foil (see note) and spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush it generously with oil or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
• Remove salmon from marinade (discard marinade).
• Place salmon on prepared pan (if you are using skin-on salmon, cook them skin-side up first).
• Broil salmon: Broil salmon for 2 minutes on the first side.
• Remove pan and flip salmon filets to the other side. Give glaze stir and pour half of the glaze over salmon. (Don't worry if some of the glaze drips off.)
• Return pan to oven and continue broiling until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. If you have an instant read thermometer, check the temperature and remove when salmon is 145 degrees F in the center. (Note: any glaze that drips off the sides of the salmon may burn under the broiler. This won't affect the salmon, but be sure to turn on your stove's hood vent if needed.
• Finish salmon with glaze and lime juice: When salmon is done, pour the remaining half of the sweet and sour glaze and 2 tsp lime juice over top.
• Serve salmon with extra lime wedges and chopped cilantro.

LIME BROILED SALMON

Steps:

• 1. Combine lime juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, red hot pepper flakes in a small bowl, whisk ingredients until blended. 2. Place fish fillets in a glass flat bottomed casserole and pour marinade over. Refrigerate and marinate at least 30 minutes. 3. Preheat the broiler and broil about 3 inches from the heat until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, 6-8 minutes 4. Boil marinade in a saucepan. Cool and pour into a bowl to use as dipping sauce. 5. Serve, garnished with wedges of lime.

BROILED HONEY-LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place fillets (skin-side down) on the baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with the garlic pepper. Place baking sheet under broiler and broil for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the glaze, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in honey, lime zest, lime juice and soy sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Remove baking sheet from oven. Brush or spoon glaze evenly on the fillets. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 4-7 minutes more or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven. Sprinkle salmon with cilantro (if desired) and serve.

GARLIC LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients. Place salmon fillets on a broiler pan, skin side down. Broil 4-6 in. from heat until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes. Brush frequently with onion mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

BROILED SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Rub salmon down in olive oil. Cut your lemon in half and set 1 half off to the side. Cut the other half into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay them on a broiler pan and lay the salmon on top of them. You just need enough to cover the bottom of the salmon so it's not touching the pan. Sprinkle with dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lightly squeeze the remainder of the lemon over the whole salmon; not too much, you don't want your seasoning to run off.
• Cook in the center of the preheated oven on a low broil until easily flaked with a fork but still juicy, 15 to 20 minutes.

BROILED SALMON WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Place fish on plate.
• Combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, oil and salt in a bowl.
• Set 2 tablespoons aside in a separate bowl.
• Pour the cilantro mixture over the fish (do not use the 2 Tbsp reserved marinade).
• Cover and let it sit 10 minutes.
• Spray broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place salmon on rack and brush with 1 tablespoon marinade.
• Broil 6" from heat about 3-4 minutes.
• Turn steaks over and brush with remaining tablespoon of marinade.
• Broil 3 more minutes or until cooked through.
• Note: I have used two very thick salmon steaks instead of the four 3/4 inch thick ones that the recipe calls for, and I have used the same amount of marinade.
• However, since thicker steaks will take longer to cook, the marinade can burn.
• To compensate for this, I add a little bit of marinade at a time.
• For example, if the salmon steaks are 1- 1 1/2 inch thick or more, they can take around 10 minutes to cook.
• So I brush the salmon steaks with less marinade, around 1/2 tablespoon.
• I then remove them from the broiler after 2 1/2- 3 minutes, and add a little more marinade, reserving enough for two more applications.
• Then I broil for another 2 1/2 minutes.
• I then turn the salmon over and add more marinade, still reserving a little.
• I broil another 2 1/2 minutes.
• I then add the remaining marinade and broil the remaining 2 1/2 minutes or until cooked through.
• This may seem tiresome, but it's well worth it.
• The marinade is great and you definitely don't want it to burn!

LIME & GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Mix the lime juice, ginger, garlic, soy and vinegar with some black pepper. Pour half over the salmon fillets and leave to marinate for 10 mins.
• Heat the grill to High. Lay the salmon on a non-stick baking tray and grill for 5-6 mins each side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, heat a wok with the remaining marinade and the stock, add the baby corn and broccoli, stir-fry for about 5 mins, then add the pak choi and cook for 2 mins more.
• Serve the salmon on top of the vegetables with any sauce from the pan and sprinkle with the spring onions.
