# Steps:
01 -
In an 11x7-inch baking dish, whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add salmon fillets to the dish, coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes. Flip the salmon and continue marinating for another 15 to 30 minutes.
02 -
Preheat grill to medium-high heat during the final 10 minutes of marinating. Brush grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill salmon for about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through, turning carefully as the salmon is delicate.
03 -
In a medium saucepan, bring coconut water, coconut milk, rice, and salt to a full boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and let rest for 5 minutes.
04 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine mango, bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, and avocado. Add lime juice, olive oil, and coconut water, tossing to coat evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
05 -
Plate the grilled salmon with a side of coconut rice. Top the salmon with mango-avocado salsa and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
The salmon fillets can be marinated for up to an hour for enhanced flavor.
02 -
Rinsing the chopped red onion reduces its sharpness for a more balanced salsa.
