Ingredients

• 4 piece(s) (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 4 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 clove(s) garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 4 slice(s) lime slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is coated evenly.

Step 3

Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.

Step 4

Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 5

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down (if the fillets have skin). Discard the excess marinade.

Step 6

Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The edges may become slightly crispy, adding a delicious texture to the dish.

Step 7

Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime slices, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
