Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large (ripe, peeled, and diced) mango
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 0.5 small (seeded and finely chopped) red chili (optional)
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub them on all sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Arrange the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the mango, lime juice, honey, cilantro, garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red chili if you prefer a bit of heat. Blend until smooth to make the mango dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary — you may add a pinch of salt or a little more lime juice depending on your preference.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the salmon fillets warm, drizzled generously with the mango dressing. Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro if desired.
