Chef John's Salmon Mango Bango
Chef John
"What's the best thing about being a chef? It's being able to name your dishes anything you want! The exotic, tropical tang of the fruit and the richness of the wild salmon work wonderfully together. The 'bango' comes from the spicy sweet pepper jam I use to bind the fresh mango relish."

Cook

Ready In
- Stir mango, lime juice, pepper jam, and cilantro together in a bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for relish flavors to combine, about 30 minutes.
- Season salmon fillets with sea salt.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until oil begins to smoke. Place salmon, flesh-side down, in the hot skillet and cook until edges are just starting to cook through, about 2 minutes. Flip fillets, remove skillet from heat, and let fillets sit in the hot pan until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and top with chilled mango relish.

I used a homemade habanero pepper jelly because that's what I had and dusted the salmon with a bit of jerk seasoning. So fresh and simple.

I made this. I thought it really lacked any pizazz. Yes Mango is good with the fish, but it still tasted just like Mango. Also it was not like a salsa, actually kind of brown and runny.

Made it to the recipe except I couldn't find the Ancho pepper jelly so I had to use just a red pepper jelly. It was really good on the Salmon.
