Salmon with Mango Salsa is a vibrant, flavorful dish that pairs tender salmon with a fresh, zesty mango salsa. The sweet and tangy salsa, made with mango, red onion, lime, and cilantro, complements the savory salmon perfectly, creating a balanced and refreshing meal.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

1 ripe mango, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for heat)

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (about ¼ cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and cilantro. Season with salt to taste. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Heat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Cook the Salmon:
    • If grilling: Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
    • If using a skillet: Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, adjusting the time as needed, until the salmon is cooked through.
  5. Check for Doneness: Ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Serve: Remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Plate the salmon and top generously with mango salsa.
  7. Garnish (optional): Serve with extra lime wedges and cilantro for garnish.

Notes

For a smoky twist, grill the mango and other veggies (like the bell pepper and onion) before making the salsa.

If you love spice, add more jalapeños or hot sauce to the salsa for an extra kick.

For a cilantro-free version, use fresh parsley or mint as a substitute.

Swap out mango for pineapple, papaya, or peaches for a different tropical flavor.
