Instructions
 

Preparation for the Salmon

  • In an 11x7-inch baking dish whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place salmon in baking dish, cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator 15 - 30 minutes, then flip salmon to opposite side and allow to marinate 15 - 30 minutes longer.
  • Preheat a grill over medium-high heat during last 10 minutes of marinating.
  • Brush grill grates with oil. Place salmon on grill and grill about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through.

Preparation for the Coconut Rice

  • While salmon is marinating prepare coconut rice. In a medium saucepan bring coconut water, coconut milk, rice and salt to a full boil.
  • Cover and simmer until liquid has been absorbed (there may be just a little bit of excess liquid in center which you can drain off), about 20 minutes.
  • Fluff with a fork, then let rest 5 minutes.

Preparation for the Mango Avocado Salsa

  • While the salmon is grilling prepare salsa. In a medium bowl toss together mango, bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, avocado, lime juice, olive oil and coconut water.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve salmon warm with coconut rice top with avocado mango salsa.

Notes

For creamier coconut rice, use full-fat coconut milk.
