Notes
The salmon for this recipe needs to marinate for about 30 minutes, so please plan accordingly.
You’ll need 1 large or 2 small medium limes to get enough juice for this recipe.
You can substitute ground ginger if you don’t have any fresh. I’ve done that before and it’s still really good.
Want to spice it up a bit? You can add a few dashes of hot sauce to the marinade for a little kick.
I use a plastic bag to marinate my salmon cause it helps get it really well coated. You could use a bowl if you prefer and just keep turning it or basting it as it marinates.
I always roast our salmon but you could grill this as well.
