👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Prepare the Salmon: Season both sides of the salmon with salt and black pepper, and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Make the Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (approximately 400°F).
Grill the Salmon: Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated salmon on the tray and brush the top with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and golden brown on top.
Serve: Remove the grilled salmon from the oven and place it on a serving plate. Spoon the prepared mango salsa over or next to the salmon, and enjoy.
👉🏻✨TIPS
When marinating the salmon, you can add garlic, ginger, or rosemary for extra flavor.
Adjust the grilling time based on the size and thickness of the salmon. Consider flipping it halfway through for even cooking.
The mango salsa can be made in advance and refrigerated for an even better taste.
