Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa
I absolutely love the combination here of the slightly charred lime salmon with the sweet, fruity mango avocado salsa and the rich and creamy coconut rice. It is all a match made in Heaven. The salmon is perfectly seasoned and cooked, and has those nice grill marks giving it a tempting lightly charred flavor. And this colorful salsa has the best blend of flavors and textures! It complements the salmon so incredibly well. Then the bed of coconut rice is the perfect base for the salmon and salsa. If you haven’t had coconut rice yet, you need to make it today! It is one of my favorite rice dishes that I make all the time and it’s so easy to prepare.

How to Grill Salmon
Whisk together lime juice and zest, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper in large baking dish. Place salmon in baking dish and let marinate 30 – 60 minutes. Grill salmon until heated through. While the salmon grills, make the coconut rice (you make it like you do regular rice, just with coconut milk) and mango avocado salsa.
How Long Do You Grill Salmon?
This recipe calls for 6 oz salmon fillets. At that weight, you’ll need to grill the salmon for 3 minutes on each side over medium-high heat.
Can I Bake the Salmon in the Oven?
During the winter months, you can also cook this salmon in a grill pan or bake it in the oven. The baked version won’t be quite as good because you won’t get the light char but when it’s zero degrees outside it’s what we do. To do so, bake salmon in a greased 13 by 9-inch baking dish in preheated 400 degree F oven for 12 – 15 minutes.
Tips for the Best Grilled Salmon With Mango Salsa
After you’ve sliced the red onion for the mango avocado salsa, rinse it under cold water to lessen its bite. Make sure your mangos are ripe before dicing them. You don’t want hard, flavorless mango chunks in your salsa! For creamier coconut rice, use full-fat coconut milk.
