Introducing a vibrant flavor combination with my Salmon with Mango Salsa recipe! Fresh, zesty, and perfect for any occasion. 🥭🐟🌶️
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 2 cloves crushed garlic (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Tajin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon filets
- 1 large ripe avocado (pitted and diced)
- 1 large mango (diced)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (diced small)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 jalapeño (seeded and minced)
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Add the salmon filets and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or overnight (but not longer than a day).
2. If you're making coconut rice, start the prep while the salmon marinates.
3. While the salmon is soaking up all those tasty flavors, dice and chop the avocado, mango, red pepper, cilantro, jalapeño, and red onion. Add the lime juice and sprinkle some salt on top. Toss to coat, taste, and adjust lime juice and salt as needed.
4. When you’re ready to cook, clean your grill grates and brush them with an oiled towel. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F) and give it another little oil brush.
Grill Salmon:
5. Remove the salmon from the marinade, shaking off excess. Discard leftover marinade to prevent flare-ups.
6. Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down. Grill for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through. If the grill marks are getting too dark before it’s cooked through, flip it back to skin-side down. Cooking times vary, so keep an eye on the internal temperature. Remove when it’s around 135-140°F, allowing it to reach about 145°F while resting.
