Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mango Salsa:

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)

  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • Salt to taste

For Serving:

  • Lime wedges

  • Extra cilantro for garnish (optional)

  • Cooked rice or greens (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates.

  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the salmon fillets with the mixture.

  3. Grill the salmon, skin-side down first, for 4–5 minutes per side or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.

  4. While the salmon grills, combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl. Toss gently and taste for seasoning.

  5. Remove salmon from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  6. Top each fillet with a generous scoop of mango salsa. Serve with lime wedges and your choice of side.

Notes

  • Don’t have a grill? Use a grill pan or bake the salmon at 400°F for about 12–15 minutes.

  • The mango salsa can be made a few hours ahead for even more flavor.

  • Great with coconut rice or a simple green salad.
