CHEF JOHN'S SALMON MANGO BANGO

Steps:

• Stir mango, lime juice, pepper jam, and cilantro together in a bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for relish flavors to combine, about 30 minutes.
• Season salmon fillets with sea salt.
• Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until oil begins to smoke. Place salmon, flesh-side down, in the hot skillet and cook until edges are just starting to cook through, about 2 minutes. Flip fillets, remove skillet from heat, and let fillets sit in the hot pan until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and top with chilled mango relish.

BARBECUED SALMON SURFER STYLE WITH MANGO-HABANERO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Pineapple Marinade:
• Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly in a non-reactive baking dish. Add the fillets to the marinade and turn to coat. Let marinate while you prepare the salsa.
• Mango-Habanero Salsa:
• Combine all of the ingredients for the salsa in a bowl. Stir gently to combine. Set aside while you prepare the rub.
• Barbeque Rub:
• Combine all of the ingredients for the rub in a bowl. Stir until well mixed.
• Take the fillets out of the marinade and coat with the rub on both sides. Grill the fillets for 5 to 7 minuets on each side or until flaky. Serve with salsa over top.

CORNY MANGO SALMON

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over high heat, bring mango nectar and mango to a boil. As mango begins to break down, press down on it with a fork or potato masher, to mash it. Continue cooking until mango cooks down to form a chunky puree, about 15 minutes. Remove half to serve as a sauce. Set the other half aside for dredging.
• On a large plate, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt.
• Preheat a large skillet.
• Season salmon with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brush glaze over top of salmon, then dredge in cornmeal mixture. Add oil and butter to skillet. Over high heat, sear salmon cornmeal mixture face down until golden, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, flipping halfway through to crisp skin.

Steps:

• Season salmon fillets with kosher salt. Line a baking baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with vegetable oil.
• Preheat oven's broiler on high and set the oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source.
• Process garlic, tarragon, and parsley in a blender or mortar and pestle to form a loose paste.
• Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper into garlic paste until combined.
• Place salmon fillets skin side down on the baking sheet. Spoon herb spread over the top and sides of each fillet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until fillets are well-browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the broiler off and turn the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake until the internal temperature of the salmon is 130 degrees F (55 degrees C) and salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 3 to 4 minutes.

BAKED SALMON WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• To make the mango salsa: combine all ingredients in a small bowl, and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
• For the baked salmon: preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Season each fillet with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a large pinch of garlic powder.
• Cover with seasame seeds.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Serve with mango Salsa.

SALMON WITH MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• The skin will stick to the pan, so if it comes off easily, trim the skin off the salmon filets before cooking.
• Otherwise, just wait for it to come off during the cooking process.
• Heat enough oil to coat the pan, and then add the salmon fillets.
• Pour approximately 1/3 the mango juice over the filets, then after a few minutes (3-5 depending on how thick the fillet is), flip over and add another 1/3 of the mango juice to the pan.
• Cook the fillet until no longer pink, then remove from the pan.
• Sprinkle with chives and serve with rice.
