Ingredients:
For the BBQ Curry Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Mango Avocado Salsa:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for heat)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the BBQ Curry Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, curry powder, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the BBQ curry marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
- Prepare the Mango Avocado Salsa:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Cook the Salmon:
- To Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- To Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve:
- Place the cooked salmon fillets on a serving platter. Top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the mango avocado salsa.
