Lime Grilled Salmon

I was really turned off by salmon for a bit...but this recipe was a regular dish my step-mom would make while we were in high school - and it made me change my mind.  It's a mix of sweet and savory with just enough crunch.  It also of course looks gorgeous on the plate - pink, green and red.  Super easy, super tasty and pretty darned healthy too.  If you still aren't convinced, sub boneless skinless chicken breasts.
