For best results, use fresh lime juice rather than bottled. The flavor is much brighter and more vibrant. Don't over-marinate the salmon, as the lime juice can start to break down the proteins and make it mushy. If you don't have a grill, you can also bake the salmon in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. This marinade also works well with other types of fish, such as tuna, swordfish, or halibut. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking, depending on how spicy you want the dish to be. Serve with a side of quinoa or rice and your favorite grilled vegetables for a complete and healthy meal.
