Grilled Lime Salmon Avocado Mango (Printable Version)

Zesty grilled salmon paired with tropical avocado-mango salsa and coconut-infused rice for an elegant seafood dinner.

# Ingredients:

→ Lime Salmon

01 - 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
02 - 3 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for grill
03 - 2 tsp lime zest
04 - 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
05 - 3 cloves garlic, crushed
06 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Coconut Rice

07 - 1 1/2 cups coconut water
08 - 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk
09 - 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed and drained well
10 - 1/2 tsp salt

→ Avocado-Mango Salsa

11 - 1 large mango, peeled and diced
12 - 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper (1/2 large)
13 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
14 - 1/3 cup chopped red onion, rinsed and drained
15 - 1 large avocado, peeled and diced
16 - 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
17 - 1 Tbsp olive oil
18 - 1 Tbsp coconut water
19 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - In an 11x7-inch baking dish, whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place salmon in the baking dish, cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Flip salmon to the opposite side and marinate for another 15-30 minutes.
02 - While salmon marinates, bring coconut water, coconut milk, jasmine rice, and salt to a full boil in a medium saucepan. Cover and reduce heat to simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Drain any excess liquid, fluff with a fork, then let rest 5 minutes.
03 - Preheat a grill over medium-high heat during the last 10 minutes of marinating time. Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
04 - Place salmon on the prepared grill and cook about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Turn carefully as the salmon will be fragile.
05 - While the salmon is grilling, toss together mango, bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, avocado, lime juice, olive oil and coconut water in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Serve salmon warm with coconut rice and top with avocado mango salsa.

# Notes:

01 - The marinating time allows the lime and garlic flavors to infuse into the salmon.
02 - Rinsing the red onion under water helps reduce its sharp flavor.
