Coconut Lime Salmon with Avocado Mango Salsa tastes like something you’d order at a beachside restaurant in Maui — fresh, bright, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
Sweet mango + buttery avocado + zesty lime + rich salmon + subtle coconut? Unreal.
🥥🍋 Coconut Lime Salmon with Avocado Mango Salsa
📝 Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for richness)
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Avocado Mango Salsa
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- ¼ red onion, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: finely diced jalapeño for heat
👩🍳 Directions
1️⃣ Marinate the Salmon
Whisk coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Marinate salmon 20–30 minutes (not longer — lime can start to “cook” it).
2️⃣ Cook the Salmon
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium.
Sear salmon 3–4 minutes per side until golden and flaky.
Optional: Brush extra marinade on top during last minute of cooking.
3️⃣ Make the Salsa
Gently combine mango, avocado, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and jalapeño.
Stir carefully so avocado stays chunky.
4️⃣ Serve
Top warm salmon with a generous spoonful of salsa.
Finish with extra lime zest or toasted coconut flakes.
