Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, and chili powder.
Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 24 hours.
Prepare the Mango Salsa: Combine the diced mango, avocado, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to mix. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Cook the Salmon:
- For Grilling: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400–450°F). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill salmon skin-side-down for 7–9 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 135–140°F. Rest off the heat to reach 145°F.
- For Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 135–140°F.
Serve: Plate the salmon and top generously with mango salsa. Pair with coconut rice or your favorite side dish.
