Description
A vibrant and tantalizing dish featuring juicy salmon complemented by fresh mango salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 ounce salmon filets
- 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
- 1 large ripe avocado, 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
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the salmon marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), olive oil, maple syrup (or brown sugar), lime juice, crushed garlic, and all spices.
- Immerse the salmon in this marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated, and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes or up to overnight.
- Combine the diced avocado, mango, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeño, and red onion in another bowl to prepare the salsa.
- Dress the salsa with lime juice and a sprinkle of kosher salt to enhance its flavors, and set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400-450°F.
- Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking, then lay the salmon skin-side down and cook for approximately 4-6 minutes.
- Flip the salmon only once, grilling until the internal temperature reaches between 135°F to 140°F.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and serve it immediately topped with a generous scoop of mango salsa.
Notes
Use fresh, high-quality salmon for best flavor. Consider using cedar planks for a smoky flavor.
