6 servings

45 minutes

Grilled salmon with creamy lime sauce is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish with the refreshing tartness of lime. The grill imparts a subtle smoky aroma to the fillet, while the creamy lime sauce envelops it in softness and velvety texture. This recipe is likely inspired by Mediterranean traditions where fish is often cooked over an open flame and complemented with citrus notes. The taste is a balance of freshness and richness: lime refreshes, the creamy sauce softens, and spices reveal depth of flavor. The dish is perfect for a light dinner or festive gathering and pairs well with grilled vegetables or fluffy mashed potatoes. Its simplicity makes it accessible for any gourmet wishing to enjoy a harmony of textures and flavors.
