Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa
Description
The salmon is seasoned with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper, creating a lightly spiced crust during grilling. Each fillet is cooked over medium heat for 6–8 minutes per side, allowing a flaky and tender texture. Once off the grill, fresh lime juice is squeezed over the fish to add acidity.
The mango salsa is prepared by combining diced mango, red pepper, red onion, jalapeño for heat, and fresh cilantro. This uncooked salsa adds a cool, sweet, and tangy contrast to the warm salmon, with brightness from lime juice finishes the dish.
This meal works well as a light entrée on warm days or for those seeking a balanced seafood dish with a fresh topping and moderate spice.
The recipe notes that the mango salsa can be made ahead and chilled until serving, allowing flavors to meld and streamlining mealtime prep.
