Servings: 4 adults
Equipment
- 1 cooking sheet or baking tray
Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets unfrozen
- Unsalted butter
- 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper
Ingredients for the mango salsa
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks or fresh mango, diced
- 1 large red pepper finely diced
- ¼ red onion finely diced
- 1 Jalapeno diced
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves and tender stems chopped
- 1 lime
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the salmon filets on to pieces of tinfoil on a baking tray. Make sure the tinfoil is big enough to be able to wrap the salmon into a little pouch.
- Season the salmon with some salt.
- Add 2 small pats of butter to each filet and then place thing lemon slices over the butter.
- Wrap up the tinfoil around the fish to create a little pouch. Bake in the oven for 11-13 minutes. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part.
- While the salmon bakes, make the mango salsa:
- Dice the mango, red pepper, red onion, jalapeno and cilantro.
- Toss all the ingredients in a bowl to combine.
- Top with the juice from 1 lime and the salt.
- Stir and keep in the fridge until the salmon is ready.
- Divide salmon and mango between plates. Serve with rice (if desired).
Notes
To know if your salmon is done baking, you can either:
- Check the internal temperature with a good instant read thermometer. The salmon is done when it reads 145 degrees F.
- Or, you can test for doneness using the "fork method": when the salmon flakes easily with a fork, in the thickest part of the salmon, it's done
