Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 1 large ripe mango (peeled and diced)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onion (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Blend until smooth to form the mango glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season each piece with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon fillets gently and sear the other side for 1-2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and spoon the mango glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
Transfer the skillet (or arrange the fillets on the prepared baking sheet if your skillet isn’t oven-safe) to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
