Summertime is synonymous with light and refreshing meals that are bursting with flavors. And when it comes to cooking during this season, I always look for recipes that can be prepared on the grill, allowing me to soak up the warm weather while enjoying delicious food. That’s why I was thrilled to discover this grilled salmon with peach salsa recipe. It combines the richness of salmon cooked on a cedar plank with the vibrant and juicy flavors of peaches and tomatoes. The best part is that it requires minimal effort, but delivers maximum flavor.
Let’s start with the main ingredients for this grilled salmon with peach salsa. You’ll need fresh salmon fillets (skinless and boneless for convenience), Good & Gather Chile Lime Seasoning (or you can substitute with chile powder and a squeeze of lime), cherry tomatoes, peaches (though any stone fruit will do), and green onions.
To serve this flavor-packed dish, you can pair it with some herbed quinoa or wild rice for a nutty and light textural contrast to the salmon. Alternatively, a simple mixed green salad with a tangy citrus vinaigrette will add a refreshing and zesty element to complement the fruity notes of the peach salsa.
Now, let’s move on to the grilling instructions. Grilling salmon on a cedar plank infuses the fish with smoky flavors while keeping it tender and moist. Start by soaking the cedar plank in water for at least an hour to prevent it from catching fire on the grill. Preheat your grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, place the salmon fillets on the cedar plank, drizzle them with olive oil to prevent sticking, and season them with your preferred seasonings, such as the Good & Gather Chile Lime Seasoning. Carefully place the cedar plank with the salmon over the flames on the grill and let it cook for about 11-13 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it’s cooked, remove the plank from the grill and savor the deliciously smoky grilled salmon.
If you’re a fan of salmon like me, you might want to try some other salmon recipes that we love. For example, there’s the Hot Honey Glazed Salmon with A Coconut Crunch, which combines the sweetness of hot honey with a satisfying coconut crunch. Another option is the Slow Baked Citrus Salmon with Fennel & Herbs, where citrus and herb flavors create a juicy and flavorful fish. If you’re into some heat, you can try the Roasted Salmon and Spicy Cucumber-Orange Salsa, which pairs roasted salmon with a zesty cucumber-orange salsa that adds a bit of a kick. And for a unique twist, there are Chili-Rubbed Salmon Tacos with Cashew-Broccoli Slaw, which are a tasty and refreshing choice with a cashew-broccoli slaw.
To make this chile lime salmon with peach salsa, start by preparing the peach-tomato salsa. Halve a pint of cherry tomatoes and cut two peaches or nectarines into wedges. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and add some sliced green onions. Set this aside. Next, soak the cedar planks in water for at least an hour, then heat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the salmon fillets on the cedar planks, drizzle them with olive oil, and season them with chile lime seasoning. Put the cedar planks over the flame on the grill and cook for 11-13 minutes until the fish flakes easily but is still slightly pink in the center. While the salmon is cooking, combine the prepared peach-tomato salsa. Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a platter and top it with the peach-tomato salsa. Serve and enjoy!
