Grilled Salmon with Mango-Lime Salsa

I like a real old fashioned Webster's Charcoal grill with real charcoal for the fire (not lighter fluid soaked briquettes) but any kind of grill will work just fine!! If you can eat outside, it makes the grilling experience even finer!

serves 4:

1 pound salmon fillet (ask the fish monger to cut it from the thickest part of the fillet which would have come from the area up by the head not by the tail, as you see in the photo above - there is no tapering to the shape of the fillet which means it does not contain part of the tail meat)
salt and pepper
olive oil
Pam spray
1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch dice
1/4 of a red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1 lime (reserve the peel)
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely sliced (optional or if you want more heat you can use a habanero)
1 tablespoon zest from peel of juiced lime, chopped
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

1. Cut the salmon fillet into 4-4oz pieces (you could even ask the fish monger to do this for you) so that you get small 'strips' of fish as shown below. This will probably be to much fish for a bariatric cooker but will leave with enough meat for lunch for the following day.
2. Season the salmon with some salt and a few grinds of black pepper, brush with oil (this is going to help keep it from sticking to the grill)
3. In a bowl combine: mango, onion, EVOO, lime juice, jalapeno if using, zest, cilantro and hazelnuts. Stir well to mix and let sit.
4. Heat grill to medium-high heat temperature.
5. (this step can be skipped) Before placing fish on the grill rack, I spray the rack with Pam liberally because I am paranoid that the fish will stick - CAUTION!!!!! Pam will make the fire burst upwards - DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!!
6. When fire goes back down, place fish on grill grill 2-3 minutes, then turn to side and grill 2-3 minutes - repeat until all sides have grill marks.
7. Remove fish from grill and serve with salsa and extra lime wedges if desired!

ENJOY!!
