Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa

Who else is ready for Summer??!!

It's definitely been so nice to have a nice weather these days and even though 

we can't do anything else outside other than being in the backyard.

Cooking something fresh and good like these makes me so happy. 

We always grill meat and for a change we grilled seafood!

Adding the Mango Salsa to it just makes it perfect. 

I highly recommend it!

Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa

• Salmon:
• 
  
• 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
• 3 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for grill
• 2 tsp lime zest
• 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Mango Salsa:

• 2 Mangos, diced (ripe)
• 1/2 small Red Onion, diced
• 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
• 1 Jalapeño, de-seeded and membranes removed, diced
• 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro, diced
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• juice from one Lime, (small)

Directions:

For Salmon:

1. -In an 11x7-inch baking dish whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste (a fair amount of each). 
2. 
   
   -Place salmon in baking dish, cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator 15 - 30 minutes, then flip salmon to opposite side and allow to marinate 15 - 30 minutes longer. 
   
   
   -Preheat a grill over medium-high heat during last 10 minutes of marinating.
3. Brush grill grates with oil. Place salmon on grill and grill about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through (turn carefully as the salmon will be fragile)

For Mango Salsa:

1. Combine the mango, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeño and cilantro in a medium size bowl.
2. Sprinkle with salt, and the lime juice. (start with juice from 1/2 a lime first, then taste and add more lime juice as desired).
3. Stir to combine.
4. Allow the salsa to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to serving, this gives time for the flavors to blend and the fruit and peppers to soften in the lime juice.
5. Store covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Every bite was sooo good guys.

Let me know if you tried it!
