  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
– 2 limes (juiced and zested)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 large avocado (diced)
– 1 ripe mango (diced)
– 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
– 1 jalapeño (deseeded and chopped, optional)
– Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
– 1 cup jasmine rice
– 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
– 1 cup water
– Salt, to taste


Instructions

Creating Grilled Lime Salmon with Avocado-Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, mix lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon fillets and allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced avocado, mango, chopped red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mix gently and set aside.
3. Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
4. Simmer the Rice: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
6. Fluff the Rice: Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
7. Assemble the Dish: On each plate, serve a portion of coconut rice topped with a grilled salmon fillet. Spoon avocado-mango salsa over the salmon.
8. Garnish: Add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top for an extra touch.

These steps guide you to create this presentable and flavorful dish effortlessly.
