Mangoes are just coming into season here with the advent of warmer weather, and they are very tasty, so I decided to use one and go healthy by using the healthiest fish - fresh Tasmanian salmon.
One whole mango was a bit much for the two pieces of salmon however I love mango, so just piled it on top of the salmon!
This is an easy recipe and tastes delicious, as the red fish goes very well with the mango and chili.
I served it on a bed of rocket, and this was another of my recipes that I planned for two meals but ate in one.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes plus 1 hour marinating
Cooking Time: 6 minutes
Makes: 1 - 2 servings
Ingredients
1 large, thick salmon steak, skin on
½ garlic clove, finely chopped
1 kaffir lime leaf, chopped finely
Chili to taste -I used 2 dried chilis
½ tbsp fish sauce
1 small mango, cut into thin strips
½ tsp lime juice
Rocket -to serve
Method
Rinse the salmon steaks and pat dry with kitchen paper.
Mix the garlic, lime leaves, chili, and fish sauce.
Add the salmon and allow to marinate for about one hour.
Meanwhile put the mango strips in a bowl with a pinch of salt and lime juice, and marinate for half an hour.
Over a relatively high heat, put the salmon and marinade in a frypan with a bit of oil, after making sure the oil is hot.
Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, and turn once only.
Put the rocket or whatever you are using for the base, on the plates.
Peel away the skin of the salmon, and cut the fish in half. Put them on one or two plates (in my case I put them on one plate!) on top of the bed of rocket.
Add the mango slices and serve.
The sweet mango compliments the fish, which should still be pink in the middle, and not overcooked.
