Description
Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa and Rice is a delicious and healthy dish that combines flavorful grilled salmon with fresh mango salsa and fluffy jasmine rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
- While the rice cooks, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using) in a bowl. Gently fold and season with salt to taste.
- Place salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork, divide among plates, and top with grilled salmon and mango salsa.
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness by omitting the jalapeño if desired.
- Fresh lime juice enhances the flavor of the mango salsa.
- Make sure to let the rice sit covered after cooking for optimal texture.
