Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Mango Salsa:
- 2 ripe mangos (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1/4 red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared sheet, skin-side down. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Make the mango salsa: While the salmon cooks, prepare the mango salsa by combining the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Stir gently to combine and season with salt to taste.
- Assemble and serve: Once the salmon is done, remove from the oven and top each fillet with a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe pairs well with rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
- For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a pinch of crushed red pepper.
- You can also grill the salmon instead of baking it.
