Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional)
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño or red chili, minced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat salmon fillets dry. Season with salt, pepper, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, and cumin (if using). Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix diced mango, red pepper, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
  3. For grilling: Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil grates. Grill salmon skin-side down for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. For baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until it flakes easily.
  5. Serve hot salmon topped with generous spoonfuls of mango salsa.

Notes

  • Substitute mango with pineapple or peach for variety.
  • Add avocado to the salsa for creaminess.
  • Use chili flakes or extra jalapeño for more heat.
  • Try baking salmon in foil packets with lime slices for extra moisture.
  • Store salsa and salmon separately to maintain texture.
