What To Serve With It
I love pairing this mango and avocado salsa with grilled fish—it adds a fresh, tangy kick that complements the smoky flavors perfectly.
It’s also a fantastic topping for tacos, giving them a creamy, fruity twist that’s hard to resist.
Whether I’m hosting a summer cookout or just spicing up a weeknight dinner, this salsa always steals the show.
Grilled Fish Pairings
When I’m grilling fish, I always think about how a great side dish can turn a simple meal into something special.
I love pairing mango and avocado salsa with grilled fish types like salmon, mahi-mahi, or halibut because their rich, buttery flavors complement the salsa’s sweet and tangy profile. The salsa’s freshness balances the smoky char of the fish, creating a harmony of flavors that’s hard to resist.
I’ve found that lighter fish, like tilapia or cod, also work well, letting the salsa’s vibrant taste shine. It’s a combo that feels fancy but is so easy to pull off!

Mango and avocado salsa isn’t just for grilled fish—it’s a perfect taco topping that adds a fresh, zesty twist to your meal.

It’s one of my go-to salsa recipes because it’s quick to whip up and packs a punch of flavor.
Trust me, once you try it, you’ll want to drizzle it on everything—it’s that good. Tacos just got a major upgrade!
