Steps
- Place 4 salmon filets in a zip-top storage bag or a baking dish skin side up.
- In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 lime juice, 2 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon chipotle powder, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine.

1-8 hours
- Transfer the 4 salmon to a plate and set aside.
- Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced slightly. Remove from heat.
5 min
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat (between 375°F-450°F). Apply oil on the flesh side of the fish and the grill grates so that the surface becomes nonstick.
- Place the 4 salmon on the grill skin side up, close the grill, and cook for 3 minutes.
3 min
- Flip the 4 salmon over with a spatula or tongs, brush some of the reduced marinade over each of the filets, then close and cook for another 4 minutes. The salmon should have an internal temperature of 120-130°F.
4 min
- Remove the 4 salmon from the grill and serve with 1 large mango salsa.
- Add 1 large mango, 1 jalapeño pepper, ¼ cup red onion, ¼ cup cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt to a small bowl and mix together to combine. Taste and season with more salt if necessary.
