Grilled Salmon: If you prefer grilling over baking, this recipe works equally well on the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, then grill the salmon for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Spicy Salsa: For a spicier kick, add some finely diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the avocado mango salsa.
Substitute Proteins: While this recipe is designed for salmon, you can easily substitute with other fish like tilapia, cod, or even chicken breast for a different protein option.
Mango Substitution: If mangoes are out of season or unavailable, you can swap them for other tropical fruits like papaya or pineapple to maintain the refreshing flavor of the salsa.
FAQ:
Can I make the salsa ahead of time? Yes, you can make the salsa a few hours ahead of time. Just be aware that the avocado may start to brown. To prevent this, add a little extra lime juice or store the salsa in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize air exposure.
How can I tell when my salmon is perfectly cooked? The best way to check for doneness is by gently pressing on the top of the salmon with a fork. If it flakes easily, it’s done. You can also use a food thermometer; salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Can I make this recipe in advance for meal prep? Yes, this recipe is great for meal prep. Simply bake the salmon and prepare the salsa separately. Store them in airtight containers and refrigerate. For the freshest results, add the salsa just before serving.
Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe? Yes, you can use frozen salmon, but make sure to thaw it completely before cooking for even results. The texture may be slightly different, but the flavor will still be fantastic.
Is this recipe gluten-free? Absolutely! Both the salmon and the avocado mango salsa are naturally gluten-free, making this a perfect choice for anyone following a gluten-free diet.
