Follow these simple steps to create a mouthwatering Salmon with Fresh Mango Salsa.
1. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Preheat the Grill or Oven: For grilling, heat your grill to medium-high. If using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C).
3. Make the Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), red bell pepper, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
4. Cook the Salmon:
– Grilling: Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
– Baking: Place the seasoned salmon on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Plate the Dish: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven. Place a salmon fillet on each plate.
6. Add the Salsa: Top the salmon with a generous spoonful of fresh mango salsa.
7. Optional Avocado: If desired, add diced avocado over the salsa for extra creaminess.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy while hot for the best flavor and texture.
