Salmon Recipe: Easy, Delicious Salmon & Mango Salsa
A delicious grilled salmon recipe is always a great choice for a fat-burning meal. Salmon can be phenomenal when cooked right. First of all, make sure the salmon in ultra fresh — which should be easy this time of year.
The goal is to grill the salmon just enough to cook it (until it’s opaque and light pink) without overcooking it. You want it to be moist, tender, and flavorful.
When cut at its thickest part, the perfectly grilled salmon appears light pink throughout, with a center that is still moist and dark.
