Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Marinate the salmon: In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over salmon fillets in a shallow dish and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Prepare the coconut rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine rice with coconut milk and one cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and cover. Cook for about 15-18 minutes until fluffy.
  3. 3. Make the salsa: While the salmon marinates and rice cooks, mix diced avocado, mango, red onion, cilantro, salt, and additional lime juice in a bowl.
  4. 4. Grill the salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill salmon skin-side down for about six minutes per side until cooked through.
  5. 5. Serve: Plate the salmon on a bed of coconut rice topped generously with avocado-mango salsa.
