Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp minced chipotle peppers in adobo, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the glaze.

4. Step 4: While the salmon cooks, combine 1 diced medium avocado, 1 diced medium mango, 1/4 small finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, and 1 minced small jalapeño in a bowl; gently toss to combine.
5. Step 5: Serve grilled salmon topped with generous spoonfuls of the avocado-mango salsa for a fresh, smoky contrast.
