Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa

As a stay-at-home parent, I’m always looking for new and interesting recipes to make with my family. Recently, I tried something a little bit different and a lot delicious—grilled salmon with mango salsa. It had the perfect combination of sweet, smoky, and tangy flavors that had everyone asking for seconds. Even my pickiest eater enjoyed it!

Ingredients:
• 2 salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 mango, diced
• ½ red onion, diced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush the mixture all over the salmon fillets.
3. Place the salmon on the preheated grill and cook for 4 minutes per side (or until it is cooked through). Remove from the grill and set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the mango, red onion, jalapeno pepper, lime juice and cilantro. Mix until combined.
5. Serve the grilled salmon with the mango salsa on top of it. Enjoy!

For me, this meal was more than just a delicious dinner—it was also a reminder of how far my family has come in such a short amount of time. When I first became a stay-at-home parent almost ten years ago, I was intimidated by cooking meals for my family and often resorted to takeout or pre-made meals from the grocery store. But now I have the confidence to try new recipes like this one and to experiment with flavors that I wouldn’t have thought about before. It’s been an amazing journey!

If you’re looking for an easy yet flavorful dinner that your whole family will enjoy, give grilled salmon with mango salsa a try tonight. The combination of sweet and smoky flavors is sure to be a hit! Plus, it’s a great reminder that with practice comes progress—something we can all appreciate as parents!
