Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa is a fresh and vibrant dish that perfectly combines the richness of salmon with the sweet and tangy flavors of a tropical mango salsa. The grilled salmon is tender and flaky, with a hint of smokiness from the grill, while the salsa provides a refreshing contrast with juicy mango, crisp red onion, and a kick of jalapeño. This dish is easy to prepare, healthy, and full of bright, summery flavors, making it ideal for a light dinner or an impressive meal to serve guests.
Ingredients:
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
For the Mango Salsa:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season them with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down, and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is grilling, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and serve with a generous spoonful of mango salsa on top.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
