Honey Citrus Grilled Salmon

This is actually several different marinades that my Mother combined to make what I think is the absolute best-est and tastiest ever. It's best with a hearty fish like salmon fillet or tuna steak but I've also used it on tilapia and it was just as good even though the fillets fell apart a bit!


Ingredients
  • 1/2 fresh lime, juiced
  • 1/2 fresh orange, juiced
  • 2tbsp honey
  • 2tbsp olive oil
  • 3tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4tsp black pepper

Preparation
  1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl.
  2. Add fish fillets and marinate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  3. Remove from refrigerator and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. Place fillets on preheated, medium high grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until a deep brown color; flip to cook other side and pour marinade over top.
  5. Remove from heat when salmon flakes.
  6. For tuna, remove from heat when meat thermometer reads 140 degrees.
  7. Enjoy!
PS.....The Whole Wheat Pasta with Mushrooms makes this a really nice meal.
