How to Make Marinade For Grilled Salmon

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons mango chutney, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs) to the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Seal the bag tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove salmon fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  5. Grill salmon for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While salmon grills, prepare the sauce: Strain the reserved marinade through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible.
  7. Add 4 ounces of cream cheese to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Serve the grilled salmon immediately, drizzled with the creamy marinade sauce.
