Rooted in flavor. Designed to heal.
When it comes to nourishing your body, meals don’t have to be complicated to be powerful. This Nourishing Lime Marinated Salmon is a beautiful example of how fresh, intentional ingredients can create a flavorful, healing dish that supports your gut, hormones, and whole-body health.
It’s clean. It’s zesty. And it’s packed with omega-3s, anti-inflammatory spices, and a citrus twist that feels like sunshine in every bite.
Why This Recipe Works for the Body
Salmon is a functional food superstar—rich in healthy fats that fuel the brain, balance hormones, and reduce inflammation.
We’re pairing it with a powerful combo of fresh-squeezed lime juice and Temecula Olive Oil’s Fresh Lime Olive Oil—a seasonal, cold-pressed oil made by co-milling whole limes with late harvest Mission olives.
The result?
A marinade that’s not just flavorful—but functional.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Temecula Olive Oil Fresh Lime Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 salmon steaks
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade
Whisk together the lime juice, lime olive oil, Dijon mustard, and spices in a small bowl.
2. Marinate the Salmon
Place salmon in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour in the marinade and coat well. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to soak in.
3. Cook Your Way
- Grill: Preheat to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates and grill salmon 5–10 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- Oven: Bake at 375°F for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Nourish + Pair: Meal Ideas
This salmon is bright and satisfying on its own, but even more powerful when paired with healing sides:
- Garlic-Lime Asparagus – sautéed quickly in avocado oil with a squeeze of lime
- Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts – crispy and caramelized for a sweet-savory balance
- Garlic Smashed Potatoes – finished with ghee or olive oil and mineral-rich sea salt
Why We Love Temecula’s Fresh Lime Olive Oil
This isn’t just any olive oil—it’s a limited-release, cold-pressed oil co-milled with whole limes, giving it a citrusy brightness that’s free of synthetic flavors or additives.
No heat. No chemicals. Just whole-food flavor, straight from the orchard.
Use it for:
✔️ Marinades
✔️ Salad dressings
✔️ Fajitas & tacos
✔️ Roasted veggies
✔️ Drizzling over grain bowls
And because it’s only available in the spring, it’s the perfect pantry staple for seasonal healing.
