Salmon w/Mango Salsa
Grilled Salmon w/ Mango Salsa
I know its the beginning of the New Year and the number 1 resolution is always to eat healthy and exercise. Well, I have the healthy dish for you. Grilled salmon is always good but whenever you add mango to it, it takes it to another level. Just like pork and pineapple, salmon and mango are a match! I used a cast iron grill pan to cook the salmon but feel free to use an outside grill which works just as good. Add 1 tbsp of oil (vegetable or olive oil) and 1 tbsp of butter to the grill pan. Make sure each grill line is covered with oil. While your pan is getting hot, season the salmon with garlic salt, parsley and paprika.
Make sure your pan is extremely hot before adding your salmon. This will give the salmon the perfect grill marks. Add the salmon, depending on the thickness of the filets, cook 5-7 minutes per side for a medium-rare center and 10 minutes per side for a medium-well center. Do not over cook, you want your salmon moist.
While the salmon is cooking, dice red onion, mango, tomatoes and cilantro.
Add all ingredients to a bowl. Add 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of fresh lime juice.
Stir and add on top of the cooked salmon. Serve with rice and veggies for a complete meal. ENJOY!
