# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Add the salmon filets and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight (no more than a day).

Dice and chop the avocado, mango, pepper, cilantro, jalapeño, and red onion. Squeeze the lime juice on top and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat, taste, and adjust lime juice and salt as needed.

Heat grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F) and clean the grates. Brush grates with oil using an oiled kitchen towel. Remove salmon from the marinade, shaking off excess, and place on the grill skin-side down. Grill for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 135-140°F, then remove and rest until it reaches 145°F.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove salmon from the marinade and discard marinade. Arrange filets on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 135-140°F.

Serve the prepared salmon immediately with mango salsa. Optional: pair with coconut rice for a complete meal.
# Notes:

If you do not have Tajin, replace it with a pinch of red chili flakes and 1 teaspoon of lime zest, or omit it entirely.

Cook times are for salmon filets weighing 4-6 ounces.

For an alternative preparation, try blackened salmon by omitting the marinade and following a blackened seasoning recipe.
