Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large, diced Fresh mango
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 0.25 cup, finely diced Red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle them evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the mango-pomegranate salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, pomegranate seeds, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, honey, and ground cumin. Stir gently to mix and let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Plate each salmon fillet and top generously with the mango-pomegranate salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, colorful dish!
