Grilled Lime Salmon with Avocado-Mango Salsa
This succulent grilled salmon, enhanced with zesty lime, is a delightful culinary experience that blends perfectly with the bright colors and flavors of the accompanying salsa.
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 limes (juiced and zested)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 mango (diced)
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1/4 red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small jalapeño (minced)
- Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the salsa by mixing the diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime juice in a separate bowl. Stir gently and set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill each fillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- To serve, place each salmon fillet on a plate, top generously with the avocado-mango salsa, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
