Grilled Salmon with Black Bean and Mango Salsa

This week we have another healthy, easy, delicious recipe for you, that just screams "SPRING"!
Salmon is high in Omega-3 fats, is a great source of protein and is a great alternative to beef or chicken, which, we know, gets a little boring sometimes.

The sweetness of the mango in this recipe really brings out the tender flavors of the fish, and the black beans add an extra layer of protein. It really is a good idea to get your protein from different sources, so plant-based proteins are an excellent addition to your diet if trying to tone or build muscle, (and who isn't trying to tone or build muscle? Who are we kidding, right?)

This recipe looks like it has a lot of ingredients, but for the most part you are literally just chopping them up and tossing them together- easy-peasy. Your meal goes from grill to your (ever-shrinking!) gut in no time flat.

Wild Caught Salmon with Mango Salsa:

Ingredients: 

1 lb. Alaskan or Sockeye Salmon – non-farm raised
1 15 oz. can organic black beans, rinsed
1 15 oz. can organic sweet corn 
1/2 organic red pepper, chopped

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
2 T. chopped fresh  cilantro
2 limes, juiced

1 lemon
