A healthy grilled salmon served with a vibrant and fresh tropical salsa.
I think it is time to share my easy peasy, ready in 15 mins grilled salmon recipe with a tropical salsa for those days when
- Your mother in law discovers that the local shop now stocks a kilo bag of individually wrapped salmon fillets and gets you a pack to try. #foodbloggerproblems
- When you other half goes on a boy’s night and leaves you to cook for one. #lesstimecookingmoretimeonnetflix.
- When you just want to just eat spoonful’s of tropical fruit with chilli straight out of the mixing bowl.
- When you feel the need to be in the tropics but don’t have enough cash to get there. This is seriously the next best thing.
- When you want to pretend that you are at the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
- When your best friend comes to stay, and is on some random made up diet, and the only thing you can serve him is fish and fruit.
- When you need to spice up your lunches.
- Add any other reason you can think of here.
It is healthy, drool worthy and tastes great. What’s not to like? So – grilled salmon served with a huge helping of some mango and pineapple salsa. Go. Make. Some. Now. And please share any images with me on Instagram.
Ps if I was making this in Sierra Leone, I would use a fish like snapper instead.
This grilled salmon with a tropical salsa recipe first appeared in Superfood Summer Vitality 2016.
Sierra Leone flavours – is the spot on my blog where I share both traditional Sierra Leonean recipes and West African fusion recipes.

21/08/2016 at 10:33 pmI agree with you on all accounts! Mango salsa instantly makes any meal feel more tropical and you can never go wrong with quick, and easy salmon. YUM!

22/08/2016 at 12:21 amThis looks divine and ever so healthy, for those of us on normal or make believe diets 😉 I am a fan of snapper so would probably take up your suggestion and make it with that, seriously delicious!
Bintu says
23/08/2016 at 8:33 pmYes please to snapper too.

22/08/2016 at 1:23 amI’m not a salmon girl, but I’d so do this salsa with a red snapper!!
Bintu says
23/08/2016 at 8:32 pmOooh, snapper. Yes please.

22/08/2016 at 3:22 amHahaha, all those reasons! Yes! I’ve been in so many of those situations, and grilled salmon is actually a go-to for me. I’ve never made it with a salsa like this, though, and it sounds amazing. Will have to try it next time!
Bintu says
23/08/2016 at 8:34 pmWe defo need to make up lots of reasons why we need more salmon and salsa in our lives. 🙂
