Scale
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Tajin seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 salmon fillets, 4-6 ounces each
- 1 large ripe avocado, diced

- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, Tajin, paprika, and chili powder in a large bowl.
- Add the salmon fillets and coat them well in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Dice the avocado, mango, bell pepper, jalapeño, and red onion. Mix with cilantro, lime juice, and salt to make the salsa.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Remove salmon from the marinade and grill skin-side down for 7 to 9 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
- For baked salmon, bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Serve the salmon immediately topped with mango salsa.
Notes
- Do not over-marinate the salmon because lime juice can affect the texture.
- Use ripe mangoes and avocados for the best flavor and texture.
- Store leftover salmon and salsa separately in airtight containers.
- Bake the salmon instead of grilling if preferred.
