Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Prep the Mango Avocado Salsa: Dice the mango and avocado into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Combine them in a medium bowl with the finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro. Squeeze in the lime juice and gently toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Brush each fillet generously with the honey mustard glaze, coating the top and sides.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, allowing the skin to crisp and the glaze to caramelize. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes, brushing with a little more glaze if desired. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily when tested with a fork.
  6. Plate and Serve: Transfer salmon to serving plates and spoon the fresh mango avocado salsa generously over the top or on the side. Serve immediately with a wedge of lime.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for better sear. Brush glaze just before grilling and after flipping to avoid burning. Let salmon rest a few minutes after grilling to redistribute juices. If glaze burns, move salmon to cooler part of grill or reduce heat. Salsa can be made ahead but add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
