Equipment

  • grill
  • mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • shallow dish

Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Lime Salmon

  • 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Avocado Mango Salsa

  • 1 large mango, diced
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste

For the Coconut Rice

  • 1 ¼ cups jasmine rice
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge, flipping once halfway through.
  • Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  • In a mixing bowl, gently toss together the diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the marinated salmon fillets for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have those lovely char marks.
  • Spoon a bed of warm coconut rice onto each plate, top with a grilled salmon fillet, and finish with a generous scoop of avocado mango salsa. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute jasmine rice with basmati or brown rice, but jasmine gives the most aromatic results. For a dairy-free creamy texture, avoid using butter or cream in the rice—coconut milk does all the work.
