Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:
  • 4 salmon fillets about 5 oz each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Mango Salsa:
  • 1 ripe mango diced
  • ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: ½ jalapeño minced (for heat)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Rub the marinade all over the salmon fillets. Let sit for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the salsa.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using). Season with salt and gently toss.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Grill salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
  7. Serve each salmon fillet topped with a generous scoop of mango salsa.

Notes

  • You can use skin-on or skinless salmon—skin-on helps hold the fillet together on the grill.
  • Mango can be swapped with pineapple or peach for a fruity twist.
  • Make extra salsa to use with tortilla chips or grilled chicken!
  • To cook indoors, use a grill pan or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
