Grilled Salmon & Mango Salsa
This easy weeknight meal pairs smoky grilled salmon with fresh mango salsa, garlicky spinach, and warm corn tortillas. Bright lime and tropical mango add a refreshing contrast to the protein-rich salmon, making this simple dish feel special without requiring much time in the kitchen.
This dish earns a spot on the Ajenda table for its simple combination of lean protein, leafy greens, healthy fats, and fresh fruit. Grilled salmon provides a substantial source of protein, while spinach, mango, lime, and olive oil add color, flavor, and important nutrients. The smoky seasoning and bright mango salsa make this an easy, balanced meal that works just as well for a weeknight as it does for a weekend dinner.
