Frequently Asked Questions

→ How do I ensure the salmon stays moist while grilling?

To keep the salmon moist, brush it with olive oil and avoid overcooking. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side or until it flakes easily with a fork.

→ Can I make the mango salsa ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the mango salsa a few hours in advance, but it’s best served fresh to maintain its vibrant flavors and textures.

→ What can I substitute for coconut rice?

You can replace coconut rice with regular jasmine rice, brown rice, or quinoa for a simpler alternative.

→ Can the dish be made spicier?

For extra heat, add more diced jalapeño to the salsa or include a pinch of cayenne pepper in the salmon seasoning.

→ What alternative fish can I use besides salmon?

You can substitute salmon with mahi-mahi, trout, or tilapia. Just adjust the grilling time depending on the thickness of the fillets.

→ Can I cook the salmon without a grill?

If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stove or even bake the salmon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes.
