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.
