Ingredients

Lime Salmon

• 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets

• 3 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for grill

• 2 tsp lime zest

• 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice

• 3 cloves garlic, crushed

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Coconut Rice

• 1 1/2 cups Zico Coconut Water

• 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk

• 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed well and drained well

• 1/2 tsp salt

Avocado-Mango Salsa

• 1 large mango, peeled and diced

• 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper (1/2 large)

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 1/3 cup chopped red onion, rinsed under water and drained

• 1 large avocado, peeled and diced

• 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 Tbsp Zico Coconut Water

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions For the salmon:

• In an 11x7-inch baking dish whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste (a fair amount of each).

• Place salmon in baking dish, cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator 15 - 30 minutes, then flip salmon to opposite side and allow to marinate 15 - 30 minutes longer. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat during last 10 minutes of marinating.

• Brush grill grates with oil. Place salmon on grill and grill about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through (turn carefully as the salmon will be fragile).

For the coconut rice:

• While salmon is marinating prepare coconut rice. In a medium saucepan bring coconut water, coconut milk, rice and salt to a full boil.

• Cover and simmer until liquid has been absorbed (there may be just a little bit of excess liquid in center which you can drain off), about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let rest 5 minutes.

For the mango avocado salsa:

• While the salmon is grilling prepare salsa. In a medium bowl toss together mango, bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, avocado, lime juice, olive oil and coconut water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Serve salmon warm with coconut rice top with avocado mango salsa.

Notes

• For creamier coconut rice, use full-fat coconut milk.
