Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
• 1 medium-sized Fresh mango (ripe)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel and dice the mango. Place the mango pieces into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth to create a mango puree. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the mango puree to create the mango mustard glaze.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Brush a generous amount of the mango mustard glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the Mango Mustard Salmon with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Pair with steamed rice, quinoa, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
