Cooking Tips

• Make sure to marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the salmon in a preheated oven at 400掳F (200掳C) for about 12-15 minutes.
• For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the salmon in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
• Serve the Mojito Salmon with Peppers as a main course with a side of rice or quinoa, or as a topping for a fresh salad.
