Spicy Salmon with Coconut-Mango Salsa

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring seared salmon topped with a sweet and spicy mango salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon filet, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Salsa:
    • 1 ripe mango, diced
    • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
    • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 1/4 cup coconut milk
    • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon filet dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cumin powder, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. While the salmon cooks, prepare the salsa: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. To serve, place the cooked salmon on a plate and top with the vibrant mango salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs if desired.
