Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6–8 oz each), skin-on or skinless
  • 2 limes (zest and juice)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup long-grain jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup water or broth
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse rice and combine with coconut milk and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat. Cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is fluffy (about 10–15 minutes).
  2. Whisk lime juice, zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush mixture over salmon fillets.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill salmon 4–5 minutes per side until opaque and flakes easily. Squeeze extra lime juice over top when done.
  4. In a bowl, gently toss mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and honey (if using). Season with salt to taste.
  5. Serve grilled salmon over coconut rice topped with avocado-mango salsa. Garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to check salmon doneness at 145°F.
  • Prep salsa and rice ahead to streamline dinner.
  • For spicier salsa, increase jalapeño or add serrano pepper.
  • Customize the salsa with pineapple or grapefruit for extra zest.
  • Store leftovers separately for best texture when reheating.
