Ingredients
For the Grilled Salmon:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika for extra flavor
For the Mango Salsa:
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
For the Coconut Rice:
1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
1 cup canned coconut milk
3/4 cup water
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1 tsp sugar for a subtle sweetness
Instructions
1. Make the Mango Salsa
In a bowl, combine mango, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently and refrigerate until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
2. Cook the Coconut Rice
Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3. Grill the Salmon
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Pat salmon dry and brush with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional spices. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until salmon is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
