Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces/170 grams each), skin on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust based on heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium optional)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Sriracha Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  2. Season the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium-high (about 375°F/190°C). If using a grill pan, heat over medium-high on stove until hot.
  4. Grill the Salmon – First Side: Place salmon skin-side down on the grill. Close lid and cook without moving for 4-5 minutes until grill marks form.
  5. Flip and Glaze: Carefully flip salmon using a fish spatula. Brush top side with honey sriracha glaze. Cook 3-4 minutes, brushing with additional glaze once or twice, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Make the Mango Avocado Salsa: While salmon grills, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Gently toss to mix without mashing avocado.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove salmon from heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve topped generously with mango avocado salsa.

Notes

Brush grill grates with oil before heating to prevent sticking. Flip salmon only once to maintain grill marks and prevent breaking. Use a thermometer to check for 125°F internal temperature for medium-rare to medium doneness. Apply honey sriracha glaze toward the end to avoid burning. If glaze thickens, warm gently before brushing. Salsa is best served fresh to avoid avocado browning.
