    Simple, fresh, and flavorful. I’ll definitely be making this again.

  • Destiny Mantestrosin

    My kids loved this! I reduced the amount of lime juice slightly as they are sensitive to sour flavors.

  • Judah Spinka

    Delicious and so easy to make! I used grapefruit juice in addition to the other citrus juices for an extra zing.

  • Yvonne Hammes

    I substituted the salmon with cod and it worked perfectly. A great way to get a healthy meal on the table quickly.

  • Vicenta Spencer

    This would also be amazing on the grill!

  • Calista Goyette

    Make sure not to overcook the salmon! It's better to undercook it slightly, as it will continue to cook as it rests.

  • Stephania Larson

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little heat. It was a fantastic addition!

  • Tanner Gleason

    For a beautiful presentation, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.

  • Keara Stroman

    Could I use dried herbs instead of fresh? If so, how much should I use?

  • Abdullah Swaniawski

    I love the combination of citrus flavors in this dish! So refreshing and light.
