Ingredients
For the Mango Peach Salsa:
- 3 peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- Juice of 1 large lime
- Kosher salt, to taste
For the Salmon:
- 4 (6-8 ounce) pieces salmon, about 1 inch thick
- Olive oil, for coating salmon
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- Hot honey or honey, for drizzling, optional
Instructions
- First make the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Gently stir and set aside.
- Pat the salmon with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub each piece of salmon with oil and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat grill to high heat of 450-500 degrees F. Clean grill well and oil the grates with an oil-soaked paper towel.
- Place salmon filets directly on the grill, skin side down. Close the lid and grill for 5 to 6 minutes. Check with a metal spatula, if the salmon has nice grill marks and comes off the grill easy, you can go ahead and slowly flip it over.
- Cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Don’t overcook.
- Transfer to a platter and drizzle with a little hot honey or honey, if using. Let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the skin from the salmon and serve with mango peach salsa.
