Instructions

Craft a zesty marinade by whisking soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, lime juice, minced garlic, and selected spices in a large bowl.
Submerge salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring complete coverage. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to overnight, not exceeding 24 hours.
Prepare vibrant salsa by combining diced avocado, mango, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeño, and red onion in a medium bowl.
Season salsa with lime juice and kosher salt, gently tossing to distribute flavors evenly. Adjust seasoning to taste.
For grilling, heat outdoor grill to 400-450°F. Clean and oil grates thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Remove salmon from marinade, discarding excess liquid. Place fillets skin-side-down on preheated grill.
Grill salmon for 7-9 minutes, carefully turning midway to ensure even cooking. Adjust heat if grill marks darken too quickly.
Monitor salmon’s internal temperature, removing from heat when it reaches 135-140°F. Allow residual heat to complete cooking to 145°F.
For oven method, preheat to 400°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange marinated salmon on prepared sheet, baking 12-15 minutes until internal temperature hits 135-140°F.
Plate immediately, topping salmon with fresh mango salsa. Consider serving alongside coconut rice or preferred accompaniment.

Notes

Let the salmon soak in the flavorful marinade for maximum taste infusion, but never exceed 24 hours to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
Watch the grill or oven temperature carefully, as salmon can quickly go from perfectly cooked to dry and tough if overheated.
Customize the mango salsa by adjusting spice levels or swapping ingredients based on personal preference or dietary needs.
Easily replace salmon with other fish like halibut or sea bass, or use tofu for a vegetarian version while maintaining similar cooking techniques.
