Jerk Salmon with Mango & Avocado Salsa

Healthy Fact of the Day

Salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids for heart and brain health, while avocados offer healthy monounsaturated fats. Mangoes are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that support immune function.

This Jerk Salmon with Mango & Avocado Salsa brings Caribbean island vibes straight to your dinner table with perfectly spiced, grilled salmon topped with a fresh, tropical salsa. The bold jerk seasoning creates a beautiful crust while keeping the salmon tender and flaky inside, perfectly balanced by the sweet mango, creamy avocado, and bright lime flavors in the salsa. It’s a healthy, colorful meal that feels like a vacation on a plate.

If you love this tropical flavor combination, you’ll want to try our Easy and Juicy Huli Huli Chicken for another island-inspired dish with sweet and savory glazes. For more fresh, vibrant salmon preparations, our Bourbon Peach Salmon offers a different but equally delicious fruit pairing that complements the rich fish perfectly.

    Ingredients

    • 4 fillets salmon

    • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 large mango, diced

    • 1 large avocado, diced

    • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped

    • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

    • 1 tablespoon lime juice

    • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    Directions

    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches a temperature of about 375°F (190°C).
    • Brush salmon fillets with olive oil and rub each with jerk seasoning, ensuring they are well coated.
    • Place salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down, and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
    • While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salsa by combining diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
    • Gently toss the salsa ingredients together until they are evenly mixed; adjust seasoning if necessary.
    • Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a minute to maintain juiciness.
    • Serve each salmon fillet topped with a generous spoonful of mango and avocado salsa for a fresh and zesty finish.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    The Sauce Mistake That Makes Everything Taste Flat

    Building sauces with layers of aromatics, reductions, and finishing touches allows you to create rich, satisfying flavors using less cream, butter, and salt overall, and incorporating acid helps slow digestion which can moderate blood sugar spikes from the meal while making every other flavor more pronounced and memorable.
