Cajun grilled salmon with mango relish. If desired, remove skin from salmon. The rub for the salmon could not be more simple: salt + pepper + chili powder + garlic powder = done. Just whisk those together, rub them into the salmon, and slap those fillets right on the grill. That would be amazing on it's own but then we're gonna top it off with a tropical mango salsa. A whole salmon filet is coated on all sides with the Cajun seasoning and pan seared to perfection.
While the fish is resting, there are a few moments to make an easy pan sauce.
After deglazing with a splash of your favorite Southern-style beer, add butter, lemon, garlic and parsley.
