How to Make Kaffir Salmon With Grilled Limes

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon chili oil, and 8-10 kaffir lime leaves (finely chopped or torn).
  2. Place salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cut 2 limes into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  4. Place salmon fillets and lime rounds, flesh-side down, on the preheated grill.
  5. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and the limes are slightly charred. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
  6. Serve the grilled salmon and limes immediately over a bed of salad greens tossed with a light lemon vinaigrette (optional).
