How to make Lime and Garlic Baked Salmon
There isn’t much to this recipe! You quickly marinate the salmon, and then stick it on the grill.
- Rinse and pat dry your salmon fillet. Season with salt.
- Combine the marinade; garlic, honey, lime, vinegar, avocado oil, cumin, coriander, and salt to taste. Whisk until honey has dissolved.
- In a baking dish or large plastic bag, combine the salmon and marinade. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.
Make a foil tray
Meanwhile, make a foil tray for barbecuing the salmon: Layer two large sheets of foil on a cutting board or large platter (large enough for salmon to fit and not hang off the edges). Pull out enough foil to create a lip, and fold all four sides about 1/2’’’ high to prevent leakage.
Heat the barbecue to 375 degrees.
Transfer salmon to the foil tray, adding the remaining marinade from the bag. Grill the salmon!
When salmon is done, remove from heat and allow to rest.
For serving, garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Food is more …
“Food is more than the sum of its nutrients, and a diet is more than the sum of its foods … Food is about pleasure, about community, about family and spirituality, about our relationship to the natural world, and about expressing our identity.” -Michael Pollan
I love Michael’s thoughts on food. It’s so true … food is so much more than what we put into our mouths: It’s very social. Each bite can take us to our past, and create new experiences for the present. It can bind us together for what is to come, which brings us to today.
Every meal with family or friends (old or new friends), is very precious to me.
ENJOY this salmon!

Garlic Honey Lime Salmon
Ingredients
- 1 1.5-2 lb wild sockeye salmon fillet
- 3 garlic cloves, microplaned
- 1 1/2 limes, juiced and zested, plus more to serve
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp coriander
- 1/3 c honey
- 1/4 c avocado or grapeseed oil
- 2 lb salmon fillet
- Kosher salt to taste
- Cilantro and lime to garnish
Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry your salmon fillet. Season all sides generously with salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients; garlic, honey, lime, vinegar, avocado oil, cumin, coriander, and salt to taste. Whisk until honey has dissolved—the marinade will be loose.
- In a baking dish or large plastic bag, combine the salmon and marinade. Let sit for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, make a foil tray for barbecuing the salmon: Layer two large sheets of foil on a cutting board or large platter (large enough for salmon to fit and not hang off the edges). Make sure there is enough foil to create a lip, and fold all four sides about 1/2’’’ high to prevent leakage.
- Heat barbecue to 375 degrees.
- Transfer salmon to the foil tray, adding the remaining marinade from the bag. Place your salmon on the grill and cook for 8-12 minutes, depending on the size of your fillet (mine was 1.8 lbs and I cooked it for 10 minutes). When salmon is done, remove from heat and allow to rest.
- When ready to serve, garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime!
