Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 Lbs Salmon
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- ¼ Cup Lime Juice About 2 Limes
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- ½ Cup Cilantro Chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 1 ½ Tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ Tsp Black Pepper
- 1 Tsp Cumin
- 1 Tsp Paprika
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into 8 equal pieces, then place them in a large freezer bag.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the marinade into the bag with the salmon. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the salmon so it’s fully coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill pan to medium heat. Make sure to oil the grill pan really well so the salmon doesn’t stick.
- Put the salmon on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes on one side. Flip it and cook for another 4 minutes or until the inside temperature is 145 degrees.
- Serve on top of rice with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To cook this on the grill outside, place the salmon, skin-side down, on the hot zone on the grill. Most of the cooking will take place on the skin side. Allow 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness.
- Gently flip the salmon over onto the lower heat side. If it sticks, give it another minute or two. When it's ready, it will release quickly. Depending on the desired doneness, cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes on the other side.
