2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp chopped fresh or 1 tsp dried dill weed

2 tsp canola or soybean oil (I used olive)

1 1/2 lb salmon fillets, cut into 6 pieces (ours weighed a little more, hence higher points)

2 tsp lime juice


In small bowl, mix 1 tsp lime peel, 1/4c lime juice, honey, dill weed and oil.


In 8-inch square glass baking dish, arrange salmon, skin side up, in a single layer(ours
was skinless).

Pour marinade over salmon;

turn in marinade to cover all sides.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 20-30 minutes(I left mine for a couple of hours)

Brush grill rack with oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove salmon from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle salmon with salt. Place skin side down on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat 10-15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork. (I baked mine in the oven on 450 degrees fro 15 minutes)

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all lime cream ingredients with wire whisk. Serve with salmon.EXCELLENT! Nora
