Mango White Balsamic Glazed Grilled Salmon
Mango White Balsamic Grilled Salmon with Lime & Garlic

Recipe Overview
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Optional Marinate Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8–12 minutes
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each, skin-on preferred
1 tbsp Garlic Infused Olive Oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mango White Balsamic Glaze
¼ cup Mango White Balsamic, divided
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp lime zest
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced
½ tsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
Optional: ½ tsp finely minced jalapeño or pinch of red pepper flakes
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
• Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with Garlic Infused Olive Oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
• In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons Mango White Balsamic, lime juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, soy sauce or tamari, and jalapeño if using.
• Simmer gently over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until glossy and lightly thickened. Do not reduce into a thick syrup.
• Remove glaze from heat and stir in lime zest. Reserve the remaining 1 tablespoon Mango White Balsamic for finishing.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates well.
• Place salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook 4–6 minutes, depending on thickness, until the skin releases easily and the salmon is mostly cooked through.
• Carefully turn the salmon if desired, or leave skin-side down for the entire cook if the fillets are delicate.
• During the final 1–2 minutes of grilling, brush the tops with the Mango White Balsamic glaze so it warms and lightly caramelizes without burning.
• Remove salmon from the grill when it reaches 125–130°F for moist, tender salmon, or to your preferred doneness.
• Let rest 3 minutes. Stir the remaining Mango White Balsamic into any reserved glaze and spoon lightly over the salmon.
• Finish with cilantro or parsley and serve with lime wedges.
Chef’s Tip
Brush the Mango White Balsamic glaze on only during the final 1–2 minutes of grilling. The balsamic and honey can darken quickly over direct heat, so a late glaze gives you shine and light caramelization without burning.
Flavor Variations
• Use Pineapple White Balsamic for a brighter tropical version with sharper acidity.
• Use Peach White Balsamic for a softer stone-fruit glaze that pairs beautifully with salmon.
• Use Persian Lime Olive Oil instead of Garlic Infused Olive Oil for extra citrus lift.
• Use Jalapeño Olive Oil instead of Garlic Infused Olive Oil for gentle heat and a more tropical-grill profile.
Pairings
Serve with coconut rice, grilled zucchini, charred asparagus, cucumber salad, quinoa, cilantro-lime slaw, or a simple arugula salad. Sauvignon Blanc, dry Rosé, Pinot Gris, or a citrus-forward cocktail all pair nicely with the mango, lime, and grilled salmon.

Recipe Notes
Skin-on salmon is easiest to grill because the skin helps protect the fish from sticking and drying out. Keep the glaze brushable rather than syrupy. If it thickens too much, loosen it with a few drops of lime juice or water. Leftover salmon is excellent chilled over salad or rice bowls the next day.
