Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the salsa verde on top. Serve immediately.

SALMON CAKES WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• For the mango salsa:In a small bowl, gently mix together all of the ingredients. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.For the salmon cakes:Preheat oven to 450ºF. Place salmon, skin side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until it registers 130ºF (see note). Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Flip the fillet over and scrape off the skin. Discard.Place skinned salmon in a large bowl and crumble it with your fingers. Add remaining ingredients except remaining avocado oil. Mix very well with your hands. Form into patties about 2 to 2 ½ inches across. You should get about 12 to 14 patties. If the patties won't hold together, you can always add more mayonnaise. Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and wait for it to get hot. Fry half of the patties until deep golden on each side and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Add more oil if necessary, and fry remaining patties as before. Serve immediately with the mango salsa and hot rice.Notes:• It's better to slightly under bake the salmon since it will get cooked more when you fry the patties. • Recipe for the patties adapted from Natasha's Kitchen.

GRILLED SALMON WITH SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill to high, build a fire in a charcoal grill or build a campfire and let it burn down to high heat (about 500 degrees F).
• Brush or drizzle salmon with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle peppers and onions with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Place the salmon, skin-side up, on the grill, along with the peppers and onions. Grill the salmon until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a metal spatula, gently nudge one of the pieces: it should release from the grill without much force, but if it feels stuck, continue cooking for another minute. When the salmon releases easily, flip and continue cooking until browned and the flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes more. Cook the peppers and onions, turning frequently, until tender and well browned, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Serve the salmon with the vegetables.
