PIN IT FOR LATER!

When we feel like eating a light, healthy dinner, we often turn to fish. I had chosen out this recipe for Mahi-mahi with Papaya and Roasted Red Pepper. Since I have never seen a papaya here, I decided to replace it with mango. And I had both salmon and mahi-mahi in the freezer, so I did both kinds. The salmon was definitely our favorite. The Mahi-mahi was good, but the salmon version of this was DELICIOUS! And this Salmon with Mango and Roasted Red Pepper is so simple, it can easily be thrown together at the last minute, which I’m always a fan of!!

Easy Salmon Recipe with Mango and Roasted Red Pepper

What kind of fish should you use?

Like I said above, this original recipe called for mahi-mahi, but we preferred the salmon over the mahi-mahi. Mahi-mahi is a pretty neutral fish, so it definitely works well. You could really use any mild fish – like cod or tilapia. But I am a big salmon fan, and I love the extra flavor you get.

Description

Scale

Ingredients

1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 (7-oz) jar roasted red peppers, drained and cut into strips
1 cup peeled, chopped fresh mango
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
4 (4-oz) salmon filets
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with a piece of foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Set aside.
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the roasted red peppers, mango, and jalapeño; cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture along with 2 tablespoons of the lime juice. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon of lime juice to the butter.
Place the salmon filets on the prepared foil-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Brush half of the butter/lime juice mixture on the salmon. Broil for 5 minutes, then flip the fish over and brush the remaining butter mixture on the salmon. Continue to broil, an additional 5-7 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
Serve the salmon topped with the mango and roasted red pepper sauce.
