Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Whisk the marinade until well blended.

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Let the salmon marinate for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.

Grill for 5-7 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets.

Grill for an additional 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
