Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup (diced) fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 (seeded and finely diced) jalapeño pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for salsa)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to create a marinade.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then brush both sides with the marinade, ensuring even coating.
Step 4
Set the salmon aside to let the flavors infuse while you prepare the strawberry salsa.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine diced strawberries, chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix gently until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set the salsa aside to marinate while cooking the salmon.
Step 6
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip the salmon and grill for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Step 8
Top each salmon fillet with a generous scoop of the strawberry salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
