Salmon With Coriander/Cilantro Mango Salsa image

This is very versatile it can be served as a main course with a salad for a light, healthy summer time meal or it can be served as a appetizer, or as part of a buffet style meal along with other dishes. I have made this a few times now both as a main and also as part of a BBQ when I had 40 people over, it is always received well. I have listed the weight below as 1kg and I feel this would serve 4-5 as a main with a nice green salad and some crusty bread and about 10 as an appetizer or as part of a buffet style meal. Cooking time does not including resting time or chilling time if you choose that option.

  • Salmon.
  • Pre-Heat oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
  • Place salmon in an oven proof dish, that has been lightly greased with either cooking spray or oil.
  • Brush salmon with olive oil, squeeze lemon over salmon, Sprinkle with ground sea salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 30-35 Min's or until fish flakes easily, cooking time will vary depending on thickness of the salmon.
  • Remove salmon from pan, allow to cool for 15 minutes. Either serve now, lukewarm, or refrigerate salmon for at least 2 hours to chill. Will last longer but chill no more than 24 hours. (I have done both and both are equally nice.).
  • To Serve: Place salmon on a serving platter, Spoon small amounts of salsa over, garnish with lemon and coriander sprigs. Serve remaining salsa in a bowl on the side.
