GRILLED SALMON WITH SPICY MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Crush the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and mash into a coarse paste using flat side of a large knife. Mix the garlic paste with the cilantro, oil, habanero, mango, lime juice and scallions in a medium bowl. Season with salt and as much of the remaining habanero as desired for spiciness. Set aside.
• Pat the fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the salmon, skin side-up, on the grill and cook until well-marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook until the fish is just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Serve the salmon with the salsa and a lime wedge.

GRILLED MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot grill. Cut mango down flat sides of the seed to get 2 large flat pieces. Brush exposed surface lightly with oil and place on grill. Grill for about 6 minutes, until light grill marks appear. Remove from heat. With the tip of a paring nife, cut thin slices down to the skin but not through it, then cut a herringbone pattern across the slices. Push on the skin side so the cut mango pops out, then cut away the dice from the skin. Cut dice smaller if they are larger than 1/2 inch. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients to bowl and toss together. Allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes so flavors will ripen.

GRILLED MANGO WITH LIME, SALT AND ANCHO POWDER

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium for direct grilling. Slice the mangoes in 2 pieces from the pit. Score the flesh of the mangoes in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the skin. Pop the flesh by holding the skin side and pushing up. Brush the flesh with the oil and grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the mangoes to a platter and immediately drizzle with the lime juice and sprinkle with the salt, chile powder and lime zest. Garnish with cilantro leaves if desired.
