Description
A delicious and refreshing dish featuring grilled salmon marinated in lime juice, served with a vibrant avocado mango salsa and creamy coconut rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (for salsa)
- Salt and pepper to taste (for salsa)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine diced avocado, diced mango, red onion, cilantro, honey, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
- Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and serve it on plates. Top with grilled salmon and spoon the avocado mango salsa over the salmon.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeño to the avocado mango salsa.
- Substitute quinoa for jasmine rice for a different texture and added protein.
