Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend, 1 tsp
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 small Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional for heat)
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, honey, and olive oil. Whisk like you mean it—this is where the magic starts.
  2. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend. Stir until everything’s evenly mixed and smelling like a tropical fiesta.
  3. Toss in the chopped Scotch bonnet or habanero if you’re feelin’ brave. Don’t be shy; this heat’s the kinda respect that wakes up your taste buds.
  4. Add fresh cilantro last, giving it a gentle stir to keep that bright, fresh vibe alive.
  5. Use this marinade to soak your protein of choice in a ziplock bag or shallow dish. Marinate at least 2 hours, or overnight if you wanna be a real pro.
  6. When ready, grill, roast, or sauté your meat or seafood until cooked through and juicy. If roasting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Serve up with extra fresh lime wedges and a sprinkle of Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend if you wanna keep that punch going.

Tony’s Fine Print

They tell me every recipe needs a little fine print, so here’s mine. I do my best to keep things straight, no surprises and no sneaky allergens. The info you see here is put together with care, capisce? But kitchens are wild places and ingredients do not always behave. Always double-check the labels on what you buy, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. If something does not look right, trust your gut (and your doctor) before you trust me. Bottom line: I am here to guide, not to diagnose. You cook, you taste, you take responsibility.

Deal? Good. Now let’s eat.
