# How to Make It:
01 -
In a shallow dish, whisk olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper until combined.
02 -
Submerge salmon fillets in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes. Flip fillets and marinate an additional 15–30 minutes.
03 -
Heat grill to medium-high during the last 10 minutes of marinating. Brush grill grates with olive oil.
04 -
Place salmon on grill and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
05 -
While salmon marinates, combine coconut water, coconut milk, jasmine rice, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a full boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let rest for 5 minutes.
06 -
In a bowl, gently toss mango, red bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, avocado, lime juice, olive oil, and coconut water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
07 -
Serve grilled salmon warm on coconut rice, topped generously with mango avocado salsa.
# Important Notes:
01 -
For extra creamy coconut rice, choose full-fat coconut milk and avoid over-rinsing cooked rice.
