Instructions
1
Preheat grill to 400 degrees F. While grill is heating, mix together spices in a small bowl.
2
Use a paper towel to pat the salmon filet dry. Spread the spice blend evenly into the cut-side of the salmon filet.
3
Once grill is heated, carefully spray the grates with avocado oil spray. This will keep the salmon from sticking.
4
Place salmon filet on the prepared grill, spice-rubbed side down. Set a timer for 6 minutes and don’t touch the salmon. This will create perfect grill marks without the fish sticking to the grates.
5
Gently flip the filet to skin-side down, grilling for an additional 8 to 10 minutes — or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the filet.
For the Fruit Trio Salsa:
1
Add fruit, peppers and onions/scallions to a medium bowl.
2
Zest and juice limes into the bowl and fold in fresh cilantro and kosher salt. Taste, adjust salt and serve.
3
Salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Oil Your Grates, Not the Fish 🔥Spray avocado oil directly onto hot grill grates rather than the salmon to prevent sticking and ensure better browning without excess oil on the fish itself.
- Prep Salsa Components Separately 🥭Cut mango, peach, and pineapple into different sizes and assemble the salsa just before serving to maintain distinct textures and prevent the juices from making everything mushy.
- Dry Your Salmon Skin 💧Pat salmon filets completely dry with paper towels 10 minutes before grilling to achieve crispy, golden skin and better spice rub adhesion.
- Toast Your Spice Blend 🌶️Lightly toast chili powder and paprika in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing with other spices to intensify their flavors and deepen the rub's complexity.
- Char Your Lime for Extra Brightness 🍋Cut limes in half and grill them cut-side down for 2-3 minutes before squeezing over the salsa to caramelize the sugars and add a sophisticated smoky-citrus dimension.
