Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post about making BBQ salmon with mango avocado salsa, written in a casual, personal style, and only using the HTML tags you specified:
So, I totally winged it in the kitchen today and somehow ended up with this amazing BBQ salmon. And let me tell you, the mango avocado salsa? Chef’s kiss.
The Fish Part
First, I grabbed some salmon fillets. Honestly, I just got whatever looked freshest at the store. I wasn’t too picky.
I rinsed those bad boys and patted them dry with paper towels. Gotta get rid of the extra moisture, you know?
Then came the fun part – the BBQ sauce! I just used some store-bought stuff. I’m all about keeping it simple. I brushed a generous amount all over the salmon, making sure to get every nook and cranny.
I preheated my grill to medium-high heat. You could probably do this in the oven too, but I was feeling the grill vibe today.
I placed the salmon on the grill, skin-side down if it has skin. If not is ok, just put it on.
I let it cook for about 5-7 minutes per side. I was going for that nice, flaky texture. you can use a fork to test it, if it flake easily is ok. Don’t overcook it, though! Nobody likes dry salmon.
The Salsa Time!
While the salmon was doing its thing, I started on the salsa. I had a perfectly ripe mango and avocado just begging to be used.
- I diced the mango and avocado into little chunks.
- Then, I chopped up some red onion – not too much, just enough for a little zing.
- I threw in some chopped cilantro because, well, cilantro makes everything better.
- A squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir it!
I mixed it all up in a bowl. Seriously, that’s it. This salsa is so easy, it’s ridiculous.
Putting It All Together
Once the salmon was cooked, I carefully took it off the grill. It smelled heavenly, I must say. and I put a big piece on my dish.
Then, I generously spooned the mango avocado salsa right on top of the salmon. The colors were so vibrant, it looked almost too good to eat… almost.
And that was it! I dug in and, let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion. The smoky BBQ salmon with the sweet and creamy salsa? Perfect combo. It was a surprisingly easy and satisfying meal. I’ll definitely be making this again!
