Ingredients

  • 1 lb - salmon filet
  • 2 teaspoons - kosher salt
  • ½ tsp - garlic powder
  • ½ tsp - black pepper
  • ½ tsp - paprika
  • 1 pinch - chili powder
  • Avocado oil spray
  • 1 cup - fresh pineapple
  • 1 - peach
  • 1 - mango
  • 1 - red bell pepper
  • ½ - jalapeno pepper
  • ½ - red onion
  • 3 - scallions
  • ⅓ cup - fresh cilantro
  • 2 - limes
  • 1 tsp - kosher salt

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.
  6. Add fruit, peppers and onions/scallions to a medium bowl.
  7. Zest and juice limes into the bowl and fold in fresh cilantro and kosher salt. Taste, adjust salt and serve.
  8. Salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
