Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and diced)
½ small red onion (diced)
1 medium cucumber (sliced and diced)
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded, and finely diced)
¼ cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime (juiced (about 2 tablespoons juice))
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
4 salmon filets
2 tablespoons avocado oil (plus more to oil the grates/pan)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
1 lemon (cut into wedges)

Steps

1
Make the mango salsa. Add the mango, red onion, cucumber, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir together until it's combined. Set aside.
2
Season the salmon. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Coat all sides of the salmon with oil, then season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3
Grill the salmon. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to high heat. Brush the grates or pan with oil. Place the salmon flesh side down and cook for 3 minutes. If using an outdoor grill, close the lid. Gently flip the salmon over by using a spatula to slide under the salmon (you can also use tongs to carefully assist), and cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets.
4
Top with salsa. Remove the salmon from the grill, let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Top with a portion of mango salsa before serving.
