Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups diced fresh or frozen thawed mango ((~2 medium mangoes worth))
• 1 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1 small jalapeño (seeded and minced)
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves (chopped)
• Juice and zest of 1 lime
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
• Avocado or coconut oil (for oiling grill grates)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 4 wild caught salmon filets (6-8 ounces each)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine all the mango salsa ingredients in a medium-size bowl, tossing well to mix. Taste, and then add additional salt as needed. Store in the fridge while you prepare the salmon.

2. 2

   Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Oil the grill grates or grill pan liberally.

3. 3

   Combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture liberally over 4 wild caught salmon filets.

4. 4

   Grill the salmon filets over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side (thicker filets might need a minute or two longer), or until the fish is flaky and opaque.

5. 5

   Serve immediately, topped with the salsa and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
