Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat, if desired)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and coat them with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the salsa.

    Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and add salt to taste. Gently toss everything together and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates. Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side (or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F/63°C), depending on thickness, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

        Serve: Once the salmon is fully cooked, remove it from the grill or skillet. Transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates and top generously with fresh mango salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.

          Enjoy: Serve your Tropical Salmon Delight with steamed rice, quinoa, or a light salad for a refreshing meal.
