It’s grilling season, which means lots of grilling recipes coming your way. This cilantro lime salmon is the first of many. It’s an easy and healthy recipe with a mild flavor that can please almost anyone who enjoys fish. The grill makes the salmon exceptionally tasty because of the smokiness it adds to it. A huge thank you to Fred Meyer Stores for sponsoring this delicious recipe!

Mouthwatering! Can’t wait to try it 🙂
Could this be done with Cod or Halibut? Just wondering cause I don’t like Salmon but would love to try it with a whitefish, the marinade sounds delish! Also can it be done on charcoal/Weber grill?
Hi Pamela this recipe would work really well with albacore tuna steaks. Yes it can definitely be done on a charcoal grill.
