Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 medium (peeled) kiwi
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon (optional) red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Place the peeled kiwis, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) into a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Blend the mixture until smooth, creating a vibrant kiwi herb marinade.

Step 3

Pour half of the marinade into a shallow dish and reserve the other half in a separate bowl for serving.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets in the shallow dish with the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to marinate.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 7

Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) for 4–5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 3–5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Drizzle the reserved kiwi herb marinade over the grilled salmon before serving for added flavor.

Step 10

Serve the grilled salmon warm with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
