Ingredients
1 clove garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1 habanero chile, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
1 ripe mango, peeled, seeded and diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
2 scallions, thinly sliced
4 center-cut skin-on wild salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
Directions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Crush the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and mash into a coarse paste using flat side of a large knife. Mix the garlic paste with the cilantro, oil, habanero, mango, lime juice and scallions in a medium bowl. Season with salt and as much of the remaining habanero as desired for spiciness. Set aside.
- Pat the fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the salmon, skin side-up, on the grill and cook until well-marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook until the fish is just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Serve the salmon with the salsa and a lime wedge.
