Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1 small cucumber, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill or pan-sear the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and easily flake with a fork.
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cucumber, red bell pepper, and cilantro.
- Drizzle the lime juice over the salsa and stir to combine. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add honey to the salsa.
- Once the salmon is cooked, plate it and top with a generous spoonful of the fresh mango salsa.

Notes
If desired, add grilled vegetables like zucchini or asparagus to complement the flavors.
For added heat, try adding a finely chopped jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mango salsa.
This recipe works well with other proteins like tuna, halibut, or grilled chicken.
Store the salmon and salsa separately for best freshness, with the salsa being best eaten fresh.
