How to Make Salmon In Orange Lime Marinade

In a resealable plastic bag, whisk together 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
Add 1-1.5 pounds salmon fillets (skin on or off) to the bag. Marinate for 30-60 minutes at room temperature, turning the bag occasionally.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (or broiler).
Grill salmon for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If using a broiler, broil 3-4 inches from heat source for 4-6 minutes per side.
Serve immediately with grilled vegetables (such as tomatoes, zucchini, and peppers) and your choice of side, like roasted corn on the cob or spicy potato salad.
