Spiced Salmon with Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice

A vibrant and flavorful dish combining pan-seared salmon with a sweet and spicy mango salsa served over fluffy coconut rice.

Ingredients:

  • 4 Salmon filets (6 oz each)

  • 1 ripe Mango, diced

  • 1/2 Red Onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped

  • 1 Jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

  • 2 tbsp Lime juice

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

  • 1 tsp Ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup Jasmine rice

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk

  • 1 cup Water

  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Coconut Rice: Rinse rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Season and Sear the Salmon: Pat salmon filets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon filets skin side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Divide coconut rice among plates. Top with seared salmon filets and generous spoonfuls of mango salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
