Grilled Salmon With Mango Salsa And Coconut Rice Food

GRILLED SALMON WITH SPICY MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Crush the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and mash into a coarse paste using flat side of a large knife. Mix the garlic paste with the cilantro, oil, habanero, mango, lime juice and scallions in a medium bowl. Season with salt and as much of the remaining habanero as desired for spiciness. Set aside.
• Pat the fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the salmon, skin side-up, on the grill and cook until well-marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook until the fish is just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Serve the salmon with the salsa and a lime wedge.

COCONUT CRUSTED SALMON & MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• 1. In cold water, rinse the salmon and rub off any loose scales, then lightly pat dry the flesh of the salmon. Add salt and a light coat of pepper to each filet.
• 2. In a bowl, toss together the coconut, chili powder, garlic/onion powder and some more salt and pepper until the coconut is basically coated with chili powder
• 3. Sprinkle and pat the coconut mixture on the flesh of the salmon heavily and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, refrigerate for about 30 minutes and up to 2 hours to secure the coconut on the fish.
• 4. While the crust is setting, you have time to make the salsa. start by adding all of the chopped ingredients to a bowl. (mangos, tomatoes, cilantro,a nd onion)
• 5. Then add the remainder of the seasonings to the bowl and stir, taste on a chip or a spoon to see if you want to make it more spicy or salty. If not, refridgerate until the salmon is ready.
• 6. After the salmon has set, heat up a large saute pan or grill pan to medium high. Drizzle some olive oil in the pan and place the fish coconut side down for about 6 minutes(until it's golden). Try not to move it until you flip so you don't scrape off the coconut.
• 7. After you've flipped the salmon, let it cook for another 8 or so minutes, or until the skin is basically torched and will peel right off the fish. Make sure you DO NOT cover the fish for any reason as this will make the coconut soggy.
• 8. So you don't freak out--the salmon skin WILL be burned. After peeling the skin from the bottom of the fish you can sit it on a bed of rice ( I like to mix a boil in a bag rice with the remainder of the cilantro, a little lime juice, some powdered ginger, salt and pepper)
• 9. Drop a hefty scoop of the mango salsa on the salmon and serve. The salsa is great leftover with tortilla chips too! Promise to make this soon! I make it for my boyfriend all the time and it blows him away!

GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice, green onions, parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade. Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove the salmon and discard the used marinade.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place salmon on the preheated grill skin side down. Cook, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
