Grilled Salmon With Fresh Lime Cream Recipes

THE EASIEST SPICY LIME GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Use a microplane to zest the lime and toss the zest into a small mixing bowl.
• Juice the lime, adding the lime juice to the lime zest.
• Add olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to lime juice and whisk to combine.
• Lay salmon in a small baking dish (I like to use a glass container with an airtight lid) and pour the marinade over the fish. Turn the salmon to coat and make sure it's covered in marinade. If you have skin on the salmon, place the filet skin side up so that the marinade can soak in.
• Cover salmon with the airtight lid and store in the fridge for thirty minutes to an hour or until you're ready to eat.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until it's piping hot (you could also use your outdoor grill). Use a heat-resistant pastry brush to brush olive oil over the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
• Remove fish from marinade and place it on the hot grill pan. Let it cook - without touching it! - for 5-7 minutes (see recipe notes) until salmon has lightened in color. Use a thin spatula to pick up the fish and flip it over on the grill. (If you've oiled your grill, the salmon shouldn't stick too much once those nice grill marks have developed). Cook for another 5-7 minutes until fish is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
• Remove salmon from the grill and serve immediately with extra lime wedges (optional). You could also add an extra sprinkle of flaky salt or red pepper flakes to the fish if you like.

GRILLED SALMON RECIPE WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Smash 4 garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and add to saucepan with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Simmer 1 min or until fragrant. Add chopped dill and 2 Tbsp lime juice then immediately remove from heat.
• Arrange salmon fillets on a platter skin-side-down and spoon on 1/3 of butter sauce and brush over the tops. Let salmon marinate while preheating grill.
• Preheat grill to medium heat (350˚F to 400˚F). Oil the hot grates. Place salmon onto preheated grill, skin-side-up. Cover and grill over medium (350˚F) heat undisturbed, about 3 minutes on the first side.
• Carefully flip salmon over (it helps to have a spatula to loosen it and tongs to flip it over), brush on 1/3 of butter sauce then cover and cook another 2 minutes (or according to salmon grilling chart), until internal temperature reaches 140˚F (the temperature will continue to rise to an ideal 145˚F internal temperature off the grill).
• Transfer salmon to a platter and drizzle with remaining 1/3 of sauce in saucepan (if butter has hardened, heat on the stovetop just until melted). Garnish with fresh dill and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over salmon.

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.

LIME & GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Mix the lime juice, ginger, garlic, soy and vinegar with some black pepper. Pour half over the salmon fillets and leave to marinate for 10 mins.
• Heat the grill to High. Lay the salmon on a non-stick baking tray and grill for 5-6 mins each side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, heat a wok with the remaining marinade and the stock, add the baby corn and broccoli, stir-fry for about 5 mins, then add the pak choi and cook for 2 mins more.
• Serve the salmon on top of the vegetables with any sauce from the pan and sprinkle with the spring onions.

PAN-GRILLED SALMON WITH LIME AND DILL

Steps:

• Rinse salmon and pat dry. Remove any bones that are sticking out.
• Rinse limes.
• Put 3/4 cup mayonnaise in medium bowl.
• Cut limes in half. Ream juice of limes into bowl.
• Mix with whisk or fork until smooth, taking care to remove any seeds that get in the bowl. If necessary, add more mayonnaise until mixture is consistency of a smooth, fairly thin cream sauce WITH NO LUMPS.
• When mixture is smooth, add dill to taste. Crumple between fingers before adding to release extra flavor. Add salt to taste. Mix until dill and salt are evenly distributed.
• Add salmon to mayonnaise-lime mixture.
• Prepare a nonstick frying pan: spray with non-stick cooking spray and place on stove over medium-high heat.
• When pan is hot, carefully place salmon in pan. (If you are doing more than two steaks, you may need to do this in shifts, two at a time.) With a pastry brush, brush additional mayonnaise-lime mixture over the top surface and sides of the salmon periodically.
• When salmon is opaque about halfway through and lightly browned (about 2 to 4 minutes), brush salmon once more and flip.
• Brush sides a few more times, then allow to cook through (about 2 to 3 more minutes.) Salmon is done when opaque and firm all the way through the thickest part.
• Remove salmon from pan and serve while very hot!

GRILLED SALMON WITH CHILLI GLAZE & LIME CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Blacken the whole garlic and the onion slices on all sides in a large, dry non-stick frying pan. Remove, cool briefly, then peel the garlic cloves. Soak the ancho chilli in boiling water for 15 mins, drain, then place in a blender with the sugar, cider vinegar, garlic, onion and some salt and pepper. Whizz to a smooth sauce.
• Heat the grill. Brush each salmon fillet liberally with the sauce and save any remaining. Grill for 8 mins. Meanwhile, mix the lime zest with the crème fraîche. Serve the fish with extra chilli sauce, a dollop of the crème fraîche and lime wedges for squeezing over. Sprinkle with coriander, if you like, and serve with green beans or rice and a salad.
