Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 1 medium-sized Fresh mango (ripe)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Peel and dice the mango. Place the mango pieces into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth to create a mango puree. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the mango puree to create the mango mustard glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel.
Brush a generous amount of the mango mustard glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve the Mango Mustard Salmon with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Pair with steamed rice, quinoa, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
