Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Peach Salsa:

2 ripe peaches, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

      - Coat the salmon fillets with the marinade and let them sit for at least 15-30 minutes while you prepare the salsa.

        Prepare the Peach Salsa:

          - In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and cilantro.

            - Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and season with salt to taste. Mix gently and set aside to let the flavors meld.

              Preheat the Grill:

                - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

                  Grill the Salmon:

                    - Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

                      - Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

                        Serve the Dish:

                          - Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

                            - Plate the salmon fillets and top generously with the peach salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

                              Enjoy:

                                - Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh mixed salad.
