This has been the summer of the margarita. My husband and I have been enjoying them all summer long. It started with my meyer lemon margarita at the beginning of summer and now it ends with this lime margarita grilled salmon. It has the bright tangy flavor of a lime margarita and it’s coupled with a creamy and garlicky avocado mayo for a tasty low carb dinner. Just whip up the marinade and mayo and then grill the salmon. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

I was psyched to see that Aldi now has fresh fish! I spotted this whole salmon filet the other day and that got the wheels turning. Actually you can buy all the ingredients for this meal (except for the tequila) at Aldi so not only is quick and easy, it’s also rather inexpensive. A whole fish like this can feed a lot of people and salmon is great for you.

The marinade is just lime juice, lime zest, olive oil and tequila. Whisk those ingredients together, pour over the fish and let it sit for about 30 minutes. The avocado mayo is simple mashed avocado, mayo and garlic. For both the lime zest and garlic, I’ve come to love this microplane zester. It really does a nice job in just seconds.

    Aldi’s has fresh fish?? Really?? We do shop at Aldi’s and some of the products are excellent. Your lime fish looks wonderful. We love our salmon and we have fresh seafood several times a week. We will definitely try out your sauce and check out the fish.
