Ingredients

This salmon with mango salsa is made with wholesome ingredients, starting with fresh salmon fillets and:

  • Fresh or Frozen Salmon Fillets
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Mango (fresh or frozen)
  • Sweet Red Bell Pepper
  • Red Onion
  • Lime Juice or Rice Vinegar
  • Cilantro

See recipe card for quantities.

What's the Difference between Salmon Fillets and Salmon Steak

Salmon fillets are cut parallel to the spine and are long and thin. Fillets done contain the little spines which means eating salmon fillets is slightly mor enjoyable than it's counterpart. Salmon fillets are more delicate in texture.

Salmon steaks are cut across the bone and are thicker and usually have a hole in the middle where the spine was. Salmon steaks can be more robust in flavor when the bone is still attached to the steak but can be more challenging to eat with all the spines.

For the most part, they are interchangeable in use and fillets, depending on the size, can sometimes serve more than one person.

How to Make Salmon with Mango Salsa

Defrost or cube ripe mango, chop red pepper and chop red onion.

Mix together and add lime juice, salt, pepper and cilantro. Let sit while you bake the salmon.

Mango Salsa ingredients

It doesn't matter whether you leave salmon skin on or off. In fact, it's more tasty with it on and helps prevent the salmon from drying out. Season your salmon and place it on a baking sheet to bake or air fry salmon.

Top your salmon with the mango salsa and your favorite vegetable.

Storage

The salmon and mango salsa will store fairly well for a few days. Just place it in an airtight container stored separately.

You can also freeze the salmon if you know you won't be eating it in the next few days. Store it in an airtight container that can easily go from freezer to microwave.

It's not recommend that you freeze the mango salsa.

Top tip

In this recipe, I like to use frozen mangos. Frozen mangos are guaranteed to be sweet and ripe which makes it perfect for salsa recipes.

Substitutions and Variations

Here are some ideas on how to make this salmon recipe slightly different. Switch it up by using:

  • Hot Peppers - instead of using sweet peppers, use hot chili peppers for a hot and spicy mango salsa
  • Avocado - add avocado for a creamy texture to your mango salsa
  • Haddock or Sole - swap out the salmon and use haddock, sole or cod.

If you have any other ideas, go for it! Drop a comment below with your spin on this recipe. I'd love to hear from you.

Equipment

An air fryer or toaster oven comes in handy when you don't want to turn on your kitchen oven.

Parchment paper will come in handy so that the salmon doesn't stick to the baking tray. If you have foil, that works well too.
