Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large mango (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 medium red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 small jalapeño (minced, seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the salmon fillets evenly with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they're well coated.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and honey. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the grill and allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes.
Serve each salmon fillet with a generous spoonful of mango salsa on top. Enjoy immediately!
