Ingredients:
Grilled Salmon
3 large salmon fillets (or 4 small)
1/8 cup fresh lime juice
Zest of a lime
1 medium garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
Mango Salsa
1 large mango, finely diced (or 1 cup)
1/4 cup red onion, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Grilled Salmon:
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste (a fair amount of each).
Place salmon in a baking dish, pour the liquid mixture over, and cover with tin foil or plastic wrap. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 – 30 minutes, then flip salmon to the opposite side and allow to marinate in the fridge for 15 – 30 minutes longer.
Preheat a grill over medium-high heat during the last 10 minutes of marinating.
Brush grill grates with oil. Place salmon on grill and grill about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through. The salmon is ready when the flesh flakes when lightly pressing down with a fork.
Mango Salsa:
In a medium bowl, toss together your mango, cilantro, red onion, olive oil, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pair with some delicious, nutty brown rice, with a unique salad, or with your veggies of choice, and serve with some lemon wedges on the side.
