  • Total Time 20 minutes
  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and diced small
    • 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
    • 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
    • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for grilling
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • Salt and pepper
    • 6 skin-on salmon fillets (2 pounds total)

Directions

  1. Stir together mango, cilantro, red-pepper flakes, oil, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Season salmon with salt and pepper and lightly brush with oil.

Cook's Note

Spoon on a Sauce
Sweet, tangy mango shines in this take on a South American chimichurri. Also try it with boneless chicken breasts or shrimp.
