Salmon With Mango Salsa Recipe

This salsa is also delicious with other oily fish, such as tuna, swordfish, and mackerel.



Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

You Will Need
4 salmon fillets (5 ounces each)
4 teaspoons mixed peppercorns (black, white, green,
and pink)
1 1/2 pounds baby new potatoes, scrubbed and halved if large
5 cups watercress

Mango salsa
1 ripe mango
3 green onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
Tabasco sauce to taste

What to Do
1. Check the salmon for any tiny bones and remove them. Roughly crush the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle. Press them into the flesh side of the salmon. Set aside.

2. Cut the potatoes into a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 10-12 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, make the salsa. Peel and seed the mango, dice the flesh, and put into a large bowl. Mix in the green onions, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and a dash of Tabasco.

4. Heat a ridged grill pan coated with nonstick cooking spray over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn the fish over and cook until the fish is done, about another 4 minutes. Drain the potatoes.

5. Arrange the watercress and new potatoes on 4 serving plates. Place the salmon on top and serve with the mango salsa.
