Ingredients
Scale
4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing the grill
2 teaspoons lime zest (from about 2 limes)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1½ cups coconut water
1¼ cups canned coconut milk (not light)
1½ cups jasmine rice, rinsed well and drained
½ teaspoon salt
1 large mango, peeled and diced
¾ cup chopped red bell pepper (about ½ large pepper)
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
⅓ cup red onion, chopped, rinsed and drained
1 large avocado, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon coconut water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grease the grill grates with olive oil.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate the salmon fillets in this mixture for at least 15 minutes.
While the salmon is marinating, prepare the coconut rice by combining coconut water, coconut milk, jasmine rice, and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked.
For the avocado-mango salsa, mix together diced mango, red bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, avocado, lime juice, olive oil, coconut water, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
Grill the marinated salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
Serve the grilled salmon on a bed of coconut rice, topped with the avocado-mango salsa.
Notes
Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best flavor.
Adjust the spice level of the salsa by adding jalapeños if desired.
This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
