Nutrition

Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa is a nutritious and flavorful dish packed with essential nutrients. Here’s a breakdown of its nutritional content per serving:

What To Serve With It

When I make grilled salmon with mango salsa, I love pairing it with light, fresh side dishes like steamed asparagus or a citrusy quinoa salad. A crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, complements the flavors perfectly and feels like a special treat. You could also try sparkling water with lemon if you’re skipping the wine—it’s just as invigorating!

Side Dishes

Pairing grilled salmon with the right side dishes can really make the meal shine. I love serving it with grilled vegetables—zucchini, bell peppers, and asparagus are my go-tos. They’re easy to prepare, and the smoky flavor complements the salmon perfectly. Another favorite of mine is a fresh quinoa salad. I toss cooked quinoa with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a zesty lemon dressing. It’s light, healthy, and adds a nice texture contrast. These sides not only balance the richness of the salmon but also make the plate look vibrant. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Wine Pairings

Once you’ve got your grilled salmon and sides ready, it’s time to think about the perfect wine to go with it. For me, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc is a winner—it’s light, fresh, and pairs beautifully with the mango salsa’s sweetness and the salmon’s richness. If you prefer something a bit creamier, go for an unoaked Chardonnay. Its smooth texture and hints of citrus complement the dish without overpowering it. I always say the right wine can turn a meal into an experience, so don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for your taste. Cheers!
