This recipe combines the rich flavors of grilled salmon with a refreshing and colorful summer salsa, perfect for a light and satisfying meal.
Prepare the salsa by combining the diced tomato, chopped green onion, diced bell pepper, and diced cucumber in a mixing bowl.
Dice the vegetables into small, uniform pieces for a better texture and presentation.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Adjust the spice levels to your preference by adding more or less chili powder.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Ensure the spice rub covers the fillets evenly for consistent flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Use a grill brush to clean the grates before oiling for better results.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until done.
Avoid overcooking the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter and top with the prepared salsa.
Garnish with additional cilantro leaves for a fresh touch.
