Description

This vibrant dish features thick salmon steaks marinated in a zesty blend of orange and lime juice, white wine vinegar, and garlic. The citrus acids gently cure the surface of the fish while infusing it with bright, aromatic flavors, resulting in a moist and tender texture. Finished with a drizzle of fresh cilantro-infused vinaigrette, it offers a perfect balance of acidity and richness. Ideal for a quick yet elegant weeknight dinner, this recipe brings a refreshing Mediterranean flair to the table. It pairs beautifully with simple sides like roasted asparagus or a light grain salad, making it a satisfying and healthy option for any occasion.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the salmon steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine white wine vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, and sliced garlic.
  3. Whisk in the olive oil, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  4. Place the salmon steaks in a shallow non-reactive container.
  5. Pour the vinaigrette evenly over the salmon steaks.
  6. Marinate in the refrigerator for 60 minutes, turning the steaks once halfway through.
  7. Preheat the broiler to high.
  8. Remove salmon from marinade and place on a broiler pan.
  9. Broil the steaks for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  10. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the reserved vinaigrette over each steak before serving.

Note

Use a non-reactive container (such as glass or plastic) for marinating to prevent the acid from reacting with metal.

Do not marinate for longer than 60 minutes, as the citrus juice can begin to "cook" the fish and make the texture mushy.

If fresh cilantro is unavailable, fresh parsley can be used as a substitute.

Ensure the broiler is fully preheated before cooking to ensure even browning.
