Instructions

  1. Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Place 1 large sheet of foil on the counter, add the salmon to the center, nestle the lime slices from 1 lime under the salmon, arrange the peppers around the perimeter, evenly drizzle everything with olive oil, evenly sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon lime zest and the juice from the second lime.
  3. Evenly sprinkle with salt, pepper, cilantro, seal up the foil pack very tightly, place it on the grill and grill for about 8 to 10 minutes. Exact grilling time will vary based on the type of grill, the size, the heat level, how thick the salmon is, etc. If you’re baking this in the oven, I would start checking at 15 minutes and go from there.
  4. Optionally garnish with additional cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Recipe is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
