Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp Guava paste
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 large Ripe mango (diced)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (diced)
• 0.5 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
• 1 small Cucumber (diced)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 optional Jalapeño (seeded and minced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the guava paste, ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. Stir until the guava paste melts and the mixture becomes smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Brush the guava barbecue sauce generously onto both sides of the salmon fillets.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with additional guava barbecue sauce, until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.

Step 6

While the salmon cooks, prepare the mango veggie salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using). Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

To serve, place a generous spoonful of mango veggie salsa on each plate and top with a grilled salmon fillet. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy your tropical feast!
