Grilled Lime Salmon with Avocado-Mango Salsa
Bright, fresh and full of flavour: grilled lime-marinated salmon served with a creamy avocado and sweet mango salsa.
Equipment
- Grill or grill pan
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Salmon Fillets
- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz / ~170 g each)
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp lime zest zest of about 1 lime
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Avocado-Mango Salsa
- 1 large mango, peeled and diced
- 1 large avocado, peeled and diced
- ¾ cup chopped red bell pepper
- ⅓ cup chopped red onion (rinsed) rinsed under cold water to mellow flavor
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice (for salsa)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (for salsa)
- salt and pepper, to taste (for salsa)
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, crushed garlic, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Place the salmon fillets in the dish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for about 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the hot grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill an additional 3-5 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and is cooked through.
- While the salmon is grilling, prepare the salsa: in a medium bowl toss together the diced mango, diced avocado, chopped red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When salmon is done, transfer to serving plates. Spoon the avocado-mango salsa over each fillet and serve immediately.
Notes
You can adjust the salsa to your taste: add diced jalapeño for heat, or swap in different coloured peppers. Salmon can also be baked at 400 °F (≈ 200 °C) in the oven for 12-15 minutes if you don’t have a grill.
