Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) fresh Atlantic salmon fillets
- 1 large (peeled, pitted, and diced) ripe mango
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving) lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper, and place them on the prepared baking sheet skin-side down.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and pour in the mango mixture. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Brush the mango glaze generously over the salmon fillets, reserving a small amount for serving.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon cooks, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Pour the reserved mango glaze into the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it reaches a thicker consistency.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Spoon the thickened mango glaze over the salmon.
Garnish each fillet with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
