Yield: 4
Ingredients: 4 (180g each) salmon fillets, skin on or off; 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup; 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari; 1 tbsp rice vinegar; 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 tsp sesame oil; 1 lime, juiced and zested; 2 cups ripe mango, diced (about 2 mangos); 1 large avocado, diced; 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced; 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat); 1 tbsp olive oil; to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2In a small bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and half of the lime juice. This is your glaze.

3Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush a generous amount of the glaze over each fillet.

4Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, basting with additional glaze halfway through cooking if desired.

5While the salmon bakes, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, diced avocado, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño (or serrano).

6Add the remaining half of the lime juice and the lime zest to the salsa mixture. Gently toss to combine. Season the salsa with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

7Serve the hot glazed salmon immediately, topped generously with the fresh mango avocado salsa. A drizzle of olive oil over the salsa can enhance flavors if desired.
