Lime Salmon with Avocado Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice

Servings: 4 | Time: 20–30 minutes active; 1 hour inactive | Difficulty: Moderate

Lime Salmon Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 oz./170 g each)
  • 3 Tbsp. (45 ml) olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. (45 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 drops lime essential oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Coconut Rice Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) coconut water
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) canned coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (275 g) rice
  • 1/2 tsp. (3 g) salt
  • 1 drop lime essential oil

Avocado Mango Salsa:

  • 1 large mango, peeled and diced
  • 3/4 cup (95 g) chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) chopped red onion
  • 1 avocado, peeled and diced
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) coconut water
  • 1–2 drops cilantro essential oil
  • 1 drop lime essential oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a baking dish, whisk together all salmon ingredients (except salmon fillets).
  2. Lay the salmon in the marinade, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Turn the salmon over, and return to the fridge for another 15–20 minutes.
  3. While the salmon is marinating, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  4. In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut rice ingredients to a boil. Cover, and allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove the salmon from the fridge, and bake for 12–15 minutes.
  6. While the salmon and rice are cooking, dice the mango, avocado, pepper, and onion, and toss to combine.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, and essential oils for the salsa. Combine the mixture with the diced veggies, toss together, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  8. When everything is cooked, scoop some rice onto each plate, top with salmon, and load up with salsa!

You can also use normal water in place of the coconut water in the coconut rice. It will lose a little coconut flavor, but it will still taste amazing!

If you’re feeling adventurous, this dish is even better when grilled. Just brush the grill with extra olive oil, and carefully grill the salmon for about 3 minutes on each side.
