I had to share this one. I got the recipe from delish.com/recipes. We love salmon and when I saw the Chile-Mango Sauce, I had to try it. We loved it and our guests loved it. There were no leftovers. Try it, you will love it too.
Ingredients
- 3 tsp
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c
- thinly slices shallot
- 2 tsp
- coriander seed
- 1 1/2
- dried red chiles
- 1
- medium ripe (slightly soft) mango
- 2 Tbsp
- finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 clove
- garlic
- 1/2 tsp
- salt
- 1 lb
- salmon fillet
How to Make Salmon with Roasted Chile-Mango Sauce
- 1Position oven rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
- 2Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, coriander and chile(s); cook, stirring, until the shallot begins to brown and the spices smell fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Transfer the shallot mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and mango. Process until almost smooth (it will be slightly gritty from the bruised coriander seed). Transfer the sauce to a small bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon cilantro.
- 3Combine garlic and salt in a small bowl. Spread the salted garlic on top of the slamon. Place the salmon, garlic side up, on the prepared broiling pan. Broil, 3-4 inches from heat, until opaque in the center, 8-14 minutes, depending on the thickness. Serve the salmon topped with the sauce and sprinkled with the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro.
- 4Note: I don't like cilantro, so I didn't put it in the sauce. I imagine that doing so, would make the sauce more of a green color to contrast in color from the salmon.
Also, my picture is with a 3 1/2 pound salmon fillet since I had guests for dinner, so I tripled the recipe for the sauce.
