Ingredients
Scale
Chili Lime Salmon
- 4 (4 oz.) salmon filet, skin on
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Mango Avocado Salsa:
- 3/4 cup diced mango
- 2 avocados, diced
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 1/2 tablespoons diced jalapeno
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- juice of 1 lime
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium high heat, about 375-400 degrees F.
- To a medium bowl add diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, red wine vinegar, lime juice and salt. Gently stir ingredients together until everything is mixed. Set aside.
- To a small bowl, add fresh lime zest, smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, garlic powder, salt, lime juice and avocado oil. Stir together using a spoon.
- Rub on spice blend the flesh side of the salmon.
- Make sure that grill grates are clean. This will ensure the fish does not stick! Spray grill grates with cooking spray or rub down with an olive oil soaked rag.
- Place salmon skin side down first. Grill for 4-5 minutes. (Do not touch it during that time.)
- Gently flip the fish using a spatula (fish should not stick to the grill grates, if it does then you need more cook time). Grill on flesh side for another 4 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest.
- Serve salmon filets with mango avocado salsa.
Notes
- To store. Keep leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Store the mango avocado salsa separately – it should also keep well for a few days in the fridge.
- To reheat. Preheat the oven to 300F, wrap the salmon in aluminum foil, and heat until it is cooked through (about 15 minutes).
- To freeze. You can freeze this salmon, without the salsa, for 2-3 months in an airtight container. Remember to thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
