Peppered Salmon with Mango Salsa




This is an old favorite that I had kind of just forgotten about until recently. I haven't made it in ages and suddenly we've had it twice in the last few weeks. I've never claimed to be great at organization or consistency.  

Salmon is one of the healthiest meat options out there, and I should really try to make it more often. This salmon is covered in coarsely ground black pepper and baked for 15 minutes or less, depending on how many servings. It's one of those rare 30 minute, weeknight dinners that also happens to be super healthy and super delicious... the trifecta! 




PEPPERED SALMON
Fresh salmon steak, 3oz per person
Butter, salt, pepper

Preheat oven to 450F. Grease a glass or metal dish with coconut or olive oil. 
Rinse salmon and pat dry. Slice into 3oz servings. Place several small pats of butter on the salmon then season generously with freshly ground black pepper, and a little bit of salt. 
Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12-15 mins. Prepare mango salsa while salmon is baking.

MANGO SALSA
2 mangos
1/3 cup red bell pepper
1/3 cup purple onion
Handful of cilantro
Fresh jalapeƱo pepper, added to taste
Juice from half of a lime 
Salt and pepper, to taste


Finely chop first 5 ingredients and stir to combine. Glaze with lime juice, season with salt and pepper, stir and serve over salmon. Serves 4-6.
