Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Add the salmon filets and toss to coat them in the marinade. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
2. If you’re serving coconut rice, start making it while the salmon is marinating.
3. While the salmon marinates, dice and chop the avocado, mango, red pepper, cilantro, jalapeño, and red onion. Squeeze lime juice on top and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
4. When you’re ready to cook, clean the grill grates and brush them with oil. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F).
5. Remove the salmon from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard leftover marinade.
6. Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down and grill for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway. Check for doneness using a thermometer. Remove when it reaches 135-140°F, so it will reach 145°F while resting.
7. Serve immediately with the mango salsa and coconut rice, if desired.

Notes

• You can prepare the mango salsa up to a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
• If you don’t have a grill, you can bake the salmon in a preheated 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes.
• For a spicier salsa, include the jalapeño seeds or add more jalapeño.
• The salmon can be marinated for as little as 20 minutes, but for maximum flavor, marinate for 4-6 hours.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
