Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces mangoes (ripe)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and then season with salt and black pepper evenly.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the mango sauce. Peel and dice the ripe mangoes into small chunks and transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Add fresh lime juice, honey, red chili flakes, cilantro, and minced garlic to the blender. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Spoon the mango sauce generously over each salmon fillet and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
