Unleashing Summer’s Flavors: Herb-Crusted Salmon with Mango S

Exploring unique flavor combinations

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s been inspired by the vibrant colors and flavors of summer. As the sun shines brightly and the garden is in full bloom, I find myself craving dishes that are as colorful and diverse as the season itself.

Aromatic Herb-Crusted Salmon with Mango Salsa

For this unique dish, we will be combining the earthy flavors of fresh herbs with the rich, buttery texture of salmon, and topping it off with a zesty mango salsa. The result is a dish that not only looks stunning but also bursts with unexpected flavors in every bite.

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (approx. 150g each)
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
• Juice of 1 lime

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• food processor
• mixing bowl
• knife

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse together the parsley, cilantro, dill, garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper until you have a coarse paste. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and spread the herb mixture evenly on top of each fillet.

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. While the salmon is baking, prepare the mango salsa by combining the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno, and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Season with salt to taste.

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and serve hot with a generous spoonful of mango salsa on top. The combination of the herb-crusted salmon with the sweet and tangy mango salsa is absolutely divine, creating a burst of flavors in every bite.
