Best 6 Lime Marinated Broiled Salmon Recipes

BROILED HONEY LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Marinate salmon: Combine ingredients for marinade (garlic, 3 Tbsp lime juice, soy sauce, 2 tsp honey, and cooking oil). Place salmon in a shallow bowl or baking dish and pour marinade over top, gently turning salmon to coat. (If using skin-on salmon, leave the skin-side up so that the flesh-side is in the marinade.)
• Transfer salmon to refrigerator and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Make glaze: While salmon marinates, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk together butter, 1 Tbsp honey, vinegar, salt, and cumin.
• Turn on the oven's broiler, placing a rack about 6 inches below the heat source.
• Line a sheet pan with foil (see note) and spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush it generously with oil or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
• Remove salmon from marinade (discard marinade).
• Place salmon on prepared pan (if you are using skin-on salmon, cook them skin-side up first).
• Broil salmon: Broil salmon for 2 minutes on the first side.
• Remove pan and flip salmon filets to the other side. Give glaze stir and pour half of the glaze over salmon. (Don't worry if some of the glaze drips off.)
• Return pan to oven and continue broiling until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. If you have an instant read thermometer, check the temperature and remove when salmon is 145 degrees F in the center. (Note: any glaze that drips off the sides of the salmon may burn under the broiler. This won't affect the salmon, but be sure to turn on your stove's hood vent if needed.
• Finish salmon with glaze and lime juice: When salmon is done, pour the remaining half of the sweet and sour glaze and 2 tsp lime juice over top.
• Serve salmon with extra lime wedges and chopped cilantro.

GARLIC LIME SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients. Place salmon fillets on a broiler pan, skin side down. Broil 4-6 in. from heat until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes. Brush frequently with onion mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

LIME-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, mustard, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate. Remove the salmon from marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
• Grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes per side depending on thickness.

• Let rest at room temperature 20 minutes to 30 minutes (no longer).
• Align oven rack in center of oven. Preheat broiler to high heat for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhie line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Remove salmon from marinade and align on baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece. Sprinkle tops evenly with cumin and coriander.
• Place salmon in oven (check on it frequently throughout broiling). Broil in preheated oven about 4 minutes then if needed tent with foil to prevent excess browning. Continue to broil about 3 - 6 minutes longer until cooked to desired doneness in center.**
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with cilantro and serve. If you want the salmon a little more tart you can serve with lime wedges for spritzing.

BROILED SALMON WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

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!
