Chimichurri Salmon with Mango
Description
This recipe prepares a chimichurri sauce by mixing diced mango with freshly chopped cilantro and Italian parsley, seasoned with red pepper flakes, lime juice, and vegetable oil. Salt and black pepper are adjusted to taste, creating a vibrant sauce balancing fruitiness, herbaceous notes, and heat.
Salmon fillets are lightly oiled, seasoned, and grilled over medium-high heat until opaque and cooked through, typically 4-6 minutes per side depending on thickness. Grilling provides a slight char and smoky flavor while keeping the fish moist and tender.
The chimichurri is spooned over the cooked salmon before serving, adding fresh, zesty brightness and a contrasting texture with the mango and herbs. This dish can be served as a flavorful main course, suitable for summer meals or light dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 Mango peeled, pitted, and cut into small cubes
- 1 bunch cilantro finely chopped
- 1 bunch Italian parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil plus more for grilling
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 lbs (60g) salmon fillets
- salt
- black pepper ground
Instructions
- Stir together the mango, cilantro, parsley, red pepper flakes, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the hot grill. Season the salmon with salt and black pepper, then lightly brush it with oil. Grill the salmon, skin side up, until it begins to turn opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes.
