Equipment

  • grill
  • Medium saucepan
  • baking dish
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Lime Salmon

  • 4 6 oz skinless salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil plus more for grill
  • 2 teaspoon lime zest
  • 3 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Coconut Rice

  • 1.5 cups Zico Coconut Water
  • 1.25 cups canned coconut milk
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice rinsed well and drained
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Avocado-Mango Salsa

  • 1 large mango peeled and diced
  • 0.75 cup chopped red bell pepper (½ large)
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.33 cup chopped red onion rinsed under water and drained
  • 1 large avocado peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Zico Coconut Water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

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 (a fair amount of each).
  • 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 (turn carefully as the salmon will be fragile).

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.

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.
