Mango Salsa Salmon
Description
Mango Salsa Salmon combines skinless salmon fillets marinated in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. The salmon is cooked in an air fryer or oven, resulting in a tender, flavorful protein with hints of citrus and warm spices. Accompanying the fish is a mango salsa made from fresh diced mango, chopped red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro or parsley, lime juice, and optional coconut water. This salsa imparts bright, sweet, and slightly tangy notes. The dish is completed by coconut rice, prepared by simmering jasmine rice with coconut milk, coconut water, and salt, producing a creamy and subtly sweet rice with a soft texture. Garnishes such as additional fresh herbs and lime wedges provide finishing touches for freshness and acidity.
Serving this salmon alongside the mango salsa and coconut rice makes for a well-balanced meal that combines tropical sweetness with savory and spiced elements. The layers of texture and flavor make it suitable for dinner or lunch when a light but satisfying seafood dish is desired.

Prepare the Coconut Rice
- In a medium saucepan combine the coconut water, coconut milk, rice and salt. Stir until evenly combined. Bring to a boil on medium heat.
- Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until all liquid has been absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Gently fluff with a fork. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.

- While the rice is cooking, preheat air fryer to 400°F or oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture on all sides of the salmon.
- AIR FRYER COOKING METHOD Place the salmon in the Air Fryer and cook for for 7-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Please note time may vary between air fryers. Once the salmon is cooked to desired doneness remove from the air fryer. OVEN COOKING METHODPlace the salmon on a sheet pan or tray lined with parchment paper, or grease a baking dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of salmon. Once the salmon is cooked to desired doneness remove from oven and serve.Note: to check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the salmon. Internal temperature will read 145°F when cooked through.
- To serve, add rice to a plate or bowl. Top with the salmon and mango salsa. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley and lime wedges. Enjoy!
