salmon w/ mango salsa

You know how sometimes you feel super lazy and in the mood to just grab carryout. But then you convince yourself to shut up and cook. Sometimes it's disastrous, and sometimes it's glorious. Tonight was the latter. Absolutely glorious. Better yet, it took less than 15 minutes total to make. Here's what you'll need:

  • Salmon filets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 sprig fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 mangos, diced

I decided to broil the salmon for this one. I just laid it on a piece of tin foil, put a little oil, salt and pepper and place it under the broiler for about 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

While that's going, start sautéing the onion in olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat until it starts to soften and turn brown. Next, add in the garlic, tomatoes and cilantro. Cook for just a couple minutes and then remove from heat and add in the mango. Let this warm in the pan for a few minutes more while the salmon finishes broiling.

Once everything's ready, simply serve the salmon with the mango salsa over top and enjoy.

Bon chappétit!
