Salmon with Mango Salsa

photo from: Everyday Food

I have gotten many good recipes from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine. The majority of the recipes I will post will probably come from there! I have really liked this magazine because the recipes are easy and have very few ingredients. They also rarely call for something that I don't already have in my cabinet. (i.e. no weird spices that you'll only use once!)

This Salmon with Mango Salsa is so fresh tasting and perfect for a summer evening. It says to cook the salmon in oven but I'm sure all of you BBQ owners out there could throw the salmon on the grill and it would be just as tasty.

Ingredients:
Serves 4 or 2 with leftovers!

• 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno chile, minced (ribs and seeds included for more heat, if desired)
• 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced (about 1 cup)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 small cucumber, peeled, and diced (about 1 cup)
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 skinless salmon fillets, (6 ounces each) Rather than buying the individual fillets I buy a pound+a little of salmon for me and Ben and we usually have some left over.

Directions

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

Other notes:

I ususally serve this with rice and steamed green beans or some other green vegi.
I alway make the amount of salsa that it calls for because it is good to snack on later with corn chips.
