Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add marinated salmon and reduce heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until opaque all the way through and a browned crust forms underneath, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Turn salmon and cook until second side is browned and flesh easily flakes with a fork, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate and flake into large pieces with a fork; squeeze a couple of lime wedges over.
