Description
A delicious and healthy recipe for Grilled Lime Salmon topped with a refreshing Mango Avocado Salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade on both sides. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the mango avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
- Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the grilled salmon topped with the mango avocado salsa.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a skillet over medium heat or bake it in the oven at 400°F for about 12-15 minutes.
