Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Lime Salmon
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 whole Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Avocado-Mango Salsa
  • 1 whole ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 medium mango, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 whole jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for spice)
  • 1 whole Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste)
For Coconut Rice
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • Salt, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the lime juice, zest, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon fillets and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover. Simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  3. In a bowl, combine the diced avocado, mango, red onion, and jalapeño (if using). Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Mix gently to combine, and season with salt to taste.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the fish easily flakes with a fork.
Serving
  1. Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and divide among plates. Top with grilled salmon and a generous spoonful of the avocado-mango salsa. Enjoy your colorful, flavorful meal!

Notes

Use perfectly ripe avocados and mangoes for the salsa. Marinate the salmon for up to an hour for a deeper flavor. Avoid overcooking the salmon to keep it moist.
