How to Make Grilled Salmon with Mango and Tomato Salsa
Mango and other fruit can add a slight sweetness to any salsa. It works particularly well with this slightly spicy salmon dish. Grilling salmon fillets with the skin on makes them easier to flip and helps prevent sticking. Oiling your grill grates can also prevent sticking: dip a balled up paper towel in oil and rubbing lightly over clean grill grates.
You could also cook the salmon in the oven: Preheat oven to 425°F and bake the salmon in a shallow baking pan for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
-
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
-
Lightly oil the grill grates with the canola oil. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down. Cook uncovered for 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
-
While salmon is cooking, combine mango, tomatoes, cilantro, and half of the lemon juice in a medium bowl.
-
Remove salmon from grill and spritz with remaining lemon juice. Serve each fillet with 1/2 cup salsa.
