Grilled Salmon Tips
- Buy salmon in bulk: When salmon is on sale, purchase a larger portion and freeze the extra fillets for later use.
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon: Choose salmon fillets that are bright pink and firm.
- Don’t overcook the salmon: Salmon should be cooked until it is just opaque in the centre. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
- Choose seasonal mangoes: Mangoes are often more affordable when they’re in season. Look for ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
- Substitute ingredients: If you can’t find certain ingredients or they’re too expensive, feel free to substitute with similar alternatives..
- Grow your own herbs: If you have a garden or balcony, consider growing your own herbs like coriander and parsley. This is a great way to save money and always have fresh herbs on hand.
- Make extra salsa: Double the salsa recipe and use the leftovers as a topping for tacos, nachos, or salads throughout the week.
- Preheat your grill: Make sure your grill is hot before adding the salmon. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish.
- Oil the grill grates: This will prevent the salmon from sticking.
