# How to Make It:
01 -
In a baking dish, whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
02 -
Place salmon fillets in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Flip the salmon and marinate for an additional 15-30 minutes.
03 -
During the last 10 minutes of marinating, preheat a grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
04 -
Place salmon on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until just cooked through.
05 -
While the salmon is marinating, bring coconut water, coconut milk, jasmine rice, and salt to a full boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to simmer, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let rest for 5 minutes.
06 -
In a medium bowl, combine mango, red bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, avocado, lime juice, olive oil, and coconut water. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper to taste.
07 -
Serve the grilled salmon warm with coconut rice, topped with mango avocado salsa.
