How to Make Grilled Lime Salmon

1. Marinate the Salmon

Whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and garlic in a baking dish. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add salmon, cover, and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes, flip, and marinate another 15–30 minutes. Preheat grill during the final 10 minutes.

2. Grill the Salmon

Oil the grill grates and cook salmon over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side, or until tender and just cooked through. Handle gently—lime-marinated salmon is delicate.

3. Make the Coconut Rice

While the salmon marinates, bring coconut water, coconut milk, rice, and salt to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, then fluff and rest for 5 minutes.

4. Prepare the Avocado-Mango Salsa

Mix together mango, bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and avocado. Add lime juice, olive oil, and coconut water. Season with salt and pepper. Keep chilled until serving.

5. Serve

Layer coconut rice onto plates, top with grilled salmon, and finish with a generous spoonful of avocado-mango salsa.

FAQs

Can I make the salmon ahead of time?

Yes, you can marinate the salmon ahead of time, especially if you picked it up fresh from your local grocery store near you. Marinating for up to an hour allows the lime flavor to develop beautifully—just be sure to flip the fillets halfway for even seasoning.

Can I use frozen salmon fillets?

Absolutely. Frozen salmon from a Mediterranean grocery store works well as long as it’s thawed completely before marinating. Thawing overnight in the fridge helps maintain tenderness and ensures the citrus marinade absorbs evenly.

What if I don’t have coconut milk or coconut water?

If you’re out of coconut milk or coconut water, you can substitute with broth or regular milk—easy to grab during your next trip to a supermarket near you. While the rice won’t have the same tropical flavor, it will still pair deliciously with the grilled salmon.

Can I substitute the jasmine rice?

Yes! Jasmine rice can be swapped for basmati, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice from the fresh options found in your nearby grocery store section. Just keep in mind that cooking times and liquid ratios may vary depending on the rice variety.

Is there a way to make the salsa spicier?

Definitely—add jalapeños, serranos, or hot sauce. These peppers are easy to find at a butcher shop counter that carries produce or at an international supermarket known for carrying a wide range of fresh spices and peppers.

Can I meal-prep this recipe?

Yes, this dish is meal-prep friendly. The salmon and coconut rice store well for 2–3 days, especially if you rely on grocery delivery services to keep your ingredients fresh throughout the week. Prepare the salsa fresh before serving to keep the avocado vibrant.
