This salmon with mango salsa is one of the easiest recipes you will ever make. Honey infused salmon is topped with sweet fresh tropical salsa and is the perfect spring or summer meal. It takes only about 15 – 20 minutes to make this meal. While the salmon is baking you can put together the salsa, and then just plate the salmon and top it with the great looking mango pineapple salsa. The flavors are terrific and it tastes so good! I love this meal because it is a great weeknight meal for busy families with tight schedules that allows you to enjoy a home-cooked meal without spending much time in the kitchen or washing up a huge pile of dishes afterward. It can be hard to prepare supper after you come home from work if you are working full time (and even overtime during the busy tax season) but I think I am slowly becoming better and better at coming up with ideas for quick and easy meals with minimal cleanup. And did I mention that this salmon with mango salsa is also nutritious and healthy?
You just can’t go wrong with this broiled salmon with mango salsa made from fresh tropical fruit. The flavors are so perfect and refreshing. It’s like a tropical vacation on a plate. I also like to serve this mango salsa over white fish – tilapia, mahi-mahi, or black cod.
This festive salmon with mango salsa is also great for entertainment. Nice presentation, zero preparation. 😉
How To Make Salmon with Mango Salsa
What you need:
4 salmon fillets
8 Tbsp honey, for glaze
1 mango, diced
1 cup pineapple, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
juice of 1 lime
bunch of cilantro, chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Praparation:
Preheat oven to broil. Brush salmon with extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Brush top side of salmon with some honey. (Make sure it doesn’t spill or drop on the baking sheet because you don’t want your house to smell like burned honey.) Broil the salmon at 500 F for about 13 minutes. Half way through brush it again with some more honey.
While salmon is cooking, mix pineapple, mango, cherry tomatoes and red onion. Squeeze lime juice and drizzle some olive oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and top with chopped cilantro. Set aside and let the juices combine.
When salmon is ready, place salmon on a plate and top with the mango pineapple salsa.
This broiled salmon with mango salsa is also great served with quinoa or rice, but it’s also filling served without them.
