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 degrees and bake the salmon in a shallow baking pan for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
