Grilled Salmon with Mango Peach Salsa
Grilled Salmon with Mango Peach Salsa brings together tender, flaky salmon filets and a fresh, fruity salsa made with diced peaches, mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. The salmon is prepared with a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and olive oil, then grilled to develop a slightly charred exterior and juicy interior. The bright, slightly spicy salsa complements the rich salmon, offering a balance of sweet and tangy flavors. A drizzle of honey adds a subtle sweetness to the grilled fish, making this dish satisfying for a summer meal or any time you want a light yet flavorful seafood option.
Ingredients
For the Mango Peach Salsa:
- 3 peach peeled and diced
- 1 Mango peeled and diced, large ripe
- 1/2 cup onion red, chopped
- 1/3 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- lime juice of 1 large
- kosher salt to taste
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon about 1 inch thick, 6-8 ounce pieces
- olive oil for coating salmon
- salt to taste, Kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt
- honey for drizzling, optional, hot honey or regular honey
Instructions
- First make the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Gently stir and set aside.
- Pat the salmon with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub each piece of salmon with oil and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat grill to high heat of 450-500 degrees F. Clean grill well and oil the grates with an oil-soaked paper towel.
- Place salmon filets directly on the grill, skin side down. Close the lid and grill for 5 to 6 minutes. Check with a metal spatula, if the salmon has nice grill marks and comes off the grill easy, you can go ahead and slowly flip it over.
- Cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Don’t overcook.
- Transfer to a platter and drizzle with a little hot honey or honey, if using. Let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the skin from the salmon and serve with mango peach salsa.
