A quick and easy summer recipe featuring perfectly grilled salmon paired with a bright, tangy mango avocado salsa that delivers a tropical twist and nostalgic comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin on
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over all sides of the salmon.
  4. Drizzle lime juice over the fillets and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  6. Squeeze in the lime juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper; gently toss to combine without mashing the avocado.
  7. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C). Clean and oil the grill grates.
  8. Place salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving.
  9. Flip carefully and grill for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is firm and flakes easily or reaches 125°F (52°C) internal temperature.
  10. Remove salmon from the grill and let rest for 3 minutes.
  11. Serve each fillet topped generously with the mango avocado salsa.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Avoid flipping salmon multiple times; one flip is enough. Use room temperature salmon for even cooking. Prepare salsa while grill heats and salmon rests. If mango is out of season, frozen mango chunks thawed work well. For dairy-free and keto diets, this recipe is naturally suitable. To reheat leftovers, warm salmon gently in a low oven and serve with fresh salsa.
