Creating Healthy Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa is simple and rewarding. Here’s how to make it:
1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Season Salmon: Rub each salmon fillet with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
3. Prepare Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine diced mango, chopped red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and avocado. Toss gently to mix.
4. Grill Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down if applicable. Grill for 4–5 minutes on one side.
5. Flip Salmon: Carefully turn the salmon over and grill for an additional 4–5 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Serve: Top each salmon fillet with a generous spoonful of mango salsa right before serving.
This straightforward process results in a dish that is not only healthy but also bursting with flavor.
