Now after all that going on about pinterest, here is a recipe I DIDN'T find on Pinterest! This actually came from a manager of mine for our most recent newsletter at the bookstore. (Readers like to cook!) This recipe is DYNAMITE. Absolutely delicious. Made me come blog after 4 months kind of delicious. Second best salmon of my life delicious. Just delicious.
Grilled Salmon with Mango and Cherry Salsa
Salmon:
- 2 salmon fillets a quarter pound each (I used wild sockeye, skin on bones in)
- Salt
- Olive oil
- 1 ripe mango, peeled, seeded and diced cubed (quarter inch cubes)
- 1/2 cup cherries, seeded and cut into quarters
- 2 tbsp red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp jalapeno, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar if you must)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Heavy sprinkle of cumin
- Light sprinkle of cayenne
- Salt to taste
- In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the mango salsa, mix and set aside. Let it sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes. Toss before topping salmon.
- Coat salmon generously in olive oil and salt. Preheat grill to medium high heat (Charcoal - approx 6 inches below grate). Grill 5-7 minutes per side, or until done.
- If your salmon has skin, peel the skin off of the salmon before plating and covering in salsa.
Now THAT is summer cookin'
