Provided by Meryl

Categories Broil/Grill

Time 37m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/2 cup cilantro leaf, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (I use 1/8 tsp salt)
4 salmon steaks, 3/4 inch thick

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!

Tips:

Choose a sustainable salmon. Opt for wild-caught salmon or responsibly farmed salmon that is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).
Use fresh cilantro and lime. These ingredients add a bright, citrusy flavor to the salmon.
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is best cooked to medium or medium-rare, so that it is still moist and flaky.
Serve the salmon immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cilantro and lime salmon is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation, this dish is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or an elegant dish for a special occasion, give cilantro and lime salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
