1
Mix honey, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic and herb seasoning, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper together in a bowl. Taste the marinade to ensure the balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors is to your liking.
2
Add lime zest and juice to the marinade. Stir in olive oil (not extra virgin) to complete the sauce. Mix well.
3
Prepare salmon fillets by ensuring they have skin on. Coat the top and sides with about half of the marinade, avoiding the skin side to prevent burning. Let the salmon marinate for about 10 minutes while preparing the salsa.
4
Preheat the grill to approximately 400°F on medium-high heat while the salmon marinates.
5
Dice the red bell pepper and red onion into small, uniform pieces. Set aside.
6
Select a ripe but firm mango and dice it into small pieces. You can cut the mango into strips, peel it with a sharp knife or spoon, then chop it, or peel the whole mango and dice it.
7
Seed and finely mince the jalapeño. Combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced jalapeño in a bowl.
8
Add chopped cilantro, a good amount of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a little neutral olive oil to the salsa. Stir in a tablespoon of the reserved marinade to add sweetness and smokiness. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
9
Oil the grill grates lightly with a neutral oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot grill. Leave undisturbed for about 5 to 6 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon.
10
Baste the top of the salmon with the remaining marinade from the plate. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes on the flesh side until done.
11
Remove the salmon from the grill when it reaches an internal temperature of about 140°F. Transfer to a plate and spoon any remaining warm marinade over the top, which will warm up and become glossy.
12
Top the warm salmon with a generous spoonful of the fresh mango salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy.
