Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Fire up your grill to 400°F, creating a medium-high heat zone perfect for salmon.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, juice from 2 limes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper into a smooth marinade.

- Mince 1 seeded jalapeno and chop ¼ cup fresh cilantro for your salsa.

- Arrange salmon on clean, oiled grill grates, cooking 6-8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Notes
- Fresh lime juice adds brightness and helps tenderize the salmon during marinating.
- Pat the salmon dry before grilling to ensure a nice crisp exterior and prevent sticking.
- Adjust the jalapeno quantity based on your heat preference, or remove seeds for milder salsa.
- For a gluten-free option, confirm all ingredients meet dietary restrictions and use fresh, high-quality produce.
