Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Refrigerate while preparing the salmon.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush with olive oil and lime juice, then season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/205°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for 5–7 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 4–6 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2–3 minutes.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates and top with the mango salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.

Notes

Let the mango salsa chill for 10–15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Grill the salmon just until it flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
For the best texture, store leftover salmon and salsa separately.
