Honey-Lime Salmon
with quinoa salad
Sweet and tart honey and lime infuse great flavors into this salmon dish. We love this sauce so much that we also use it to dress our quinoa salad, which saves you time. Vegetarians will marinade tofu in this same dressing for a delicious treat.

This is super easy and tastes really good...appreciate both of those things in a recipe! Will be making this again.
0 HelpfulNot bad. The salmon didn't cook all the way using the broiler method so still had to cook it for about 10 more minutes in the oven. Kept everything else as on the recipe
0 HelpfulIt was really good. We made a different salad that we like, spinach w/Gouda and apples and a homemade honey mustard dressing.
0 HelpfulNot bad salmon wise (not the greatest but decent). Thought the salad was a little too sweet.
0 HelpfulThe quinoa was the best part-- tangy and fresh. However, there was barely enough of the quinoa for 2 adults and a toddler for the old format standard recipe, so one may want to increase the amounts.
