I cannot tell you enough how much I love a good Creamy Garlic Salmon I also like to eat with Roasted Sweet Potatoes.

Have you ever had one of those days where you’re craving something fancy and from fish dishes,but not too fancy Hhhh because that was exactly me last Thursday and the fridge was full of leftovers while I had zero motivation then suddenly”bam”I remembered salmon fillets which were hiding behind the oat milk as if they knew they were about to be the star of dinner.
Now, I’d love to say I whipped up the mango salsa on however since had way too much lime to the point that it reached pucker-your-face, regret-your-choices levels of lime but hey we live and we learn so we taste-test.

Anyway, this combo of salmon and fresh mango salsa is a total flavor bomb because it’s sweet and a little spicy while also being just the right kind of fresh which makes it feel like a high-end restaurant.
Also, have you ever put mango on fish before because if not buckle up

How to Make Salmon Recipe with Fresh Mango Salsa
Step 1
The first thing you need to do is reheat and prepare: Start by preheating the oven to 200°C (400°F), or prepare the grill if you prefer grilling the salmon. While it’s heating, pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.

Step 2
Second: Season the salmon: Drizzle olive oil over the fillets, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 3
Now, cook the salmon in the oven: Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with baking paper or aluminum foil. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Then, grill: Grill each side of the salmon fillets for approximately 4-6 minutes, depending on the thickness. Make sure they have good grill marks!
Step 4
Now, make the mango salsa: While the salmon is cooking, place the mango cubes, red onion, bell peppers, chili peppers, lemon juice, chopped coriander, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the ingredients well and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Step 5
Finally, serve: Place each salmon fillet on a plate and garnish with a tablespoon of fresh mango sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
