Instructions
Combine all the marinade in a deep dish. Add the salmon and the rest of the marinade and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
When ready, lightly coat a bunched-up paper towel with oil and wipe the clean grill grate. Prepare two cooking zones: medium-high heat(375°F-450°F) on one side and low heat (250°F) on the other side. Close the lid, Pre-heat for 15-20 minutes. Remove the salmon from the marinade leaving a thin coat of the marinade.
Open the grill and place the salmon skin-side down on the high heat zone, cook for 4-6 minutes. Use a flat spatula, gently flip to the other side and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness and your desired doneness. It is ready when it is opaque at the center and flakes easily when pushing with a fork or knife. Transfer on a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Salmon in the oven (option)
Preheat the oven to 425°F convection/450°F standard. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush with aluminum foil. Place the fish on the prepared sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes depending on their thickness or until opaque at the center and flakes easily
Cucumber and mango salad
Combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Assembly
Pile the mango and cucumber salad on a plate, place the grilled salmon on top, sprinkle some garnish and serve immediately.
