Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Honey (1 tablespoon)
- Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
- Cilantro (1/4 cup, finely chopped)
- Red onion (1/4 cup, finely diced)
- Red bell pepper (1/4 cup, finely diced)
- Mango (1 large, peeled and diced)
- Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Salmon fillets (4 (6 oz each))
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season each salmon fillet evenly with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the seared salmon fillets to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
- While the salmon is in the oven, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and honey. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Once the salmon is done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fillet, making it even more succulent.
- Serve the salmon fillets hot, topped generously with the vibrant mango salsa. Enjoy this tropical feast!
