Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Brush or rub the marinade evenly over both sides of each salmon fillet. Cover and let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop grill marks.
Step 6
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
