SALMON WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine salsa ingredients, season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
• Heat broiler. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Arrange salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, broil 4 inches from heat source until filets are opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes.
• To serve, place fillets on serving plates, and spoon salsa over fish. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.

SALMON TANGO

Steps:

• In a medium glass bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and white wine. Stir until brown sugar has dissolved. Reserve a small amount to use as a basting sauce; the remainder is used as a marinade.
• Place salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in marinade, seal, and turn to coat salmon. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, turning once.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon on grill, and discard marinade. Cook salmon for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until easily flaked with a fork. Baste with reserved sauce while grilling.

FRESH SALMON TARTARE

Steps:

• Cut the fresh salmon and the smoked salmon in 1/4-inch dice. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and add the lime juice, shallots, olive oil, dill, capers, two mustards, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours for the salmon to marinate.
• When ready to serve, toast the bread and taste the salmon for seasonings. Serve the tartare with triangles of the toast.

MEDITERRANEAN-TWIST SALMON

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook salmon in the hot oil until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Pour balsamic vinegar into tomato mixture; add basil. Cook and stir tomato mixture until flavors blend, about 3 minutes.
• Place salmon on a plate and top with tomato sauce.

BLACKENED ROAST SALMON WITH AVOCADO & MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the paprika, oregano, cayenne, sugar, lime zest, garlic and oil in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Toss the peppers, onions and beans with half of the spice paste in a large roasting tin, then cook in the oven for 25 mins.
• Remove from the oven and give the veg and beans a good mix. Lay the salmon on top, skin-side down, then brush over the remaining spice paste. Bake for a further 25 mins, until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, for the salsa, halve, stone and finely chop the avocados and mango. Mix with the lime juice, chilli, coriander and some salt. Serve the salmon, veg and beans with the salsa and lime wedges for squeezing over.

AMAZING SALMON TACOS

Steps:

• Toss cubed salmon in cumin and chili powder. Set aside.
• Heat large skillet over medium and cook yellow onion 2 minutes, until it begins to soften.
• Turn heat up to medium high. Add salmon to skillet. Lightly sear salmon cubes for about 2-3 minutes, turning gently (don't break the salmon into pieces!).
• IMPORTANT: Do not over cook the salmon. This juicy recipe will keep steaming the salmon. The salmon should still be firm in the middle of the cube when you proceed to the next step.
• Return heat setting to medium. Add canned tomatoes and chilies, cilantro and green onions. Gently incorporate and heat through.
• Squeeze quartered limes over the salmon mixture, give it a quick stir, and plate up the salmon (I usually drain a little liquid off at this point).
• Serve with warm flour tortillas, quality salsa, sour cream, sliced avocado, and crisp romaine lettuce.

SALMON TARTARE

Steps:

• Place salmon on a plate; freeze until well chilled, about 20 minutes.
• Thinly slice salmon lengthwise into 1/8"-wide sheets. Cut each sheet into 1/8"-long strips. Cut strips crosswise into 1/8" cubes. Place salmon in a medium bowl. Add cucumber and the next 9 ingredients and toss to combine. Season tartare to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer tartare to a bowl and serve with chips.

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.

STICKY MANGO-ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a chopping board on your work surface. Snap or carefully chop the stalks off the ends of the green beans. Cut any thick stems of broccoli in half lengthways. Cut the root ends and about 2cm off the green tops of the spring onions, then cut each onion into 3 batons.
• Fill a large saucepan halfway with water, put it on the hob and turn the heat on to medium-high until the water boils. Carefully tip the prepared vegetables into the pan of boiling water and simmer for 1 min. Put a colander in the sink and carefully tip the veggies and water into it.
• Find a large baking tray (ours was 30cm x 40cm). Tip the cooked veggies into the tray and drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and toss through the oil until well coated.
• Push the veggies to the edge of the tray, making space in the middle, then lay the salmon, with the skin side down, in that space. Drizzle the remaining 1 tsp oil over the salmon and season with a pinch of salt.
• In a bowl, measure 3 tbsp mango chutney, 2 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp ginger purée, and mix the ingredients together to make a sauce. Pour half the sauce over the veg and salmon.
• Use oven gloves to carefully put the tray on the middle shelf of the oven. Cook for 15 mins.
• Carefully remove the tray from the oven using the oven gloves and pour the rest of the sauce over the salmon. Return to the oven for another 5 mins. Pick the coriander leaves and scatter these over the salmon and veg. Serve with cooked noodles or rice.
