Ingredients
For the Mango Salsa
- 2 cups diced fresh or frozen thawed mango (~2 medium mangoes worth)
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 small jalapeño seeded and minced
- ½ cup diced red onion
- ½ cup packed cilantro leaves chopped
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
For the Salmon
- Avocado or coconut oil for oiling grill grates
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 4 wild caught salmon filets 6-8 ounces each
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- 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.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Oil the grill grates or grill pan liberally.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve immediately, topped with the salsa and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
