2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them, turning to coat.

3. Refrigerate the salmon for at least 30 minutes.

4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
