Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Sriracha or another chili sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Soy sauce (1 tablespoon), low sodium preferred
  • Fresh lime juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Ripe mango (1 large or 1 ½ cups diced)
  • Ripe avocado (1 medium, diced)
  • Red onion (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
  • Fresh cilantro (2 tablespoons, chopped, optional)
  • Jalapeño (1 small, seeded and minced)
  • Fresh lime juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Cooked quinoa or brown rice (about 1 cup cooked / 185 g)
  • Mixed greens or baby spinach (1 cup)
  • Cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, minced garlic, soy sauce, and fresh lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Gently toss to mix, then season with salt to taste. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
  4. Prepare quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, place salmon skin-side down (if skin-on) and cook for about 4 minutes without moving it.
  6. Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula. Immediately brush the honey chili glaze over the cooked side. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, brushing another layer of glaze halfway through, until salmon is cooked through and sticky on the outside.
  7. Place a bed of quinoa or rice into a serving bowl. Add mixed greens or baby spinach around the edges.
  8. Gently place the glazed salmon on top, then spoon generous amounts of mango avocado salsa over the salmon and greens.
  9. Garnish with cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to achieve a good sear. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning the glaze. Brush glaze multiple times for a sticky, flavorful crust. Prepare salsa last to keep avocado fresh. Cook salmon in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Reheat salmon gently in a pan to keep glaze intact.
