Longhorn Salmon Marinade Recipe

This Longhorn salmon marinade recipe brings out the best in a good salmon filet.
The combination of fresh citrus, sweetness, and savory spices creates a mouthwatering flavor.
I always recommend patting the salmon dry before marinating to help it soak up as much flavor as possible.
A quick trick I like is to double the marinade and reserve a little to brush on while grilling.
This keeps the salmon moist and adds an extra punch of flavor.
