Ingredients

2 teaspoons agave nectar

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ lime

2 teaspoons olive oil

4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)

¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat your broiler and adjust the oven rack to sit 6 inches below the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  2. Arrange the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet with the skin side down. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, agave nectar, ground coriander, ground cumin, and salt until well blended.

  3. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, spread the spice and oil mixture evenly across the top of each salmon fillet.

  4. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Squeeze fresh lime juice over each fillet immediately after removing from heat.

  5. Transfer salmon to serving plates and serve immediately while warm.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4.5

Salmon, lime, and basic spices are all reliably stocked at any Charlotte grocer—no special trips needed. At current prices, four salmon fillets and the rest run roughly $16–18 total, so about $4–4.50 per serving, which is solid for a protein-forward main. The 18-minute claim is honest: five minutes for the rub and lime prep, twelve minutes in a hot pan or oven, one minute plating. This is a minimal-fuss weeknight dish that reheats decently in a low oven and works for families or solo eating.
