Ingredients
  

For the Chipotle Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

For the Mango Avocado Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chipotle Salmon:

    - In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chipotle chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      - Rub the mixture generously onto each salmon fillet, ensuring they are coated evenly. Let the fish marinate for at least 15 minutes.

        Make the Mango Avocado Salsa:

          - In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently toss until all ingredients are mixed but be careful not to mash the avocado. Set aside.

            Cook the Salmon:

              - Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, oil the grates to prevent sticking.

                - Place the salmon fillets on the grill or skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.

                  Serve:

                    - Once the salmon is done, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

                      - Serve each salmon fillet topped with a generous scoop of mango avocado salsa. Pair with steamed rice or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
