Chef John's Salmon Mango Bango

The mango relish adds such a freshness to this dish. I couldn't find the red bell pepper and ancho chili pepper jam, so I used red pepper jelly and then rehydrated an ancho chili and added some of it to the relish. It added a nice kick! The cooking time and method for the salmon was spot on. Just flip, remove from the heat and let it do it's thing. Delicious!

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.

This was fabulous! Will make again. The mango and the salmon go so well together.

I used peach jam and a pinch of cayenne and chili powder as a handy substitute for the chili pepper jam.

My wife is not very found of fish, but she really enjoyed this recipe. It's tasty and very simple to make. By the way, I also enjoyed preparing and eating it too ;-)

This is delicious and very simple to prepare. My kind of dish! I made it actually as written and was happy with the fish and with the mango topping. This recipe will be on our dinner table again.

Excellent. I did not have the red bell pepper and ancho chili pepper jam, so I use the jalapeno jelly that we had on hand. I also added a little diced red onion. I loved the mango. What a great taste. Delicious.

I couldn’t find the jam in the receipt, so I improvised and used strawberry jam and mixed it with cayenne pepper, Lemmon, honey and mango. It tasted great. Great receipt, thanks for sharing chef John. ???

This was delicious! The salmon was done quickly and was very moist. The salsa was amazing. Why go out to eat?

Wife says, "That was good babe." Good enough for me lol

My wife and I both agreed.... this was the BEST RECIPE I'VE EVER COOKED. Getting a fresh ripe mango was key. Getting salmon that was fresh and tender was key. I found farm-raised was juicier in this case than wild-caught alaskan (go figure?). A must-try recipe! The flavors melded so well. Thank you once again, Chef John!

This salsa was a big hit at my family gathering. And served over the fresh caught salmon was wonderful, though I noticed a lot of people just eating the salsa with chips! it was a good thing I tripled the recipe! No leftovers!

This was so tasty my husband said it tasted like a fancy restaurant meal. Such an easy, fast way to make salmon. Do yourself a favor and watch the video to learn how to skin the salmon before cooking. The mango salsa is wonderful, just a tiny bit of heat with a lot of sweet. Bought the jam on Amazon. We think the salsa will be excellent on pork dishes, too. Made the recipe exactly as written.

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.

This is a very tasty relish for salmon. We used Tobasco jelly instead of ancho, as soon as we can find some, we will try that.

I will definitely make this again. I couldn't find the ancho chili jam so I used red pepper jelly and added some chipotle chili powder. I also added some chopped red onion.

Sooo yummy! A must! Such a perfect spring/ summer dish. I used pineapple jalapeño jelly, as I couldn’t find the ancho chili pepper jelly.

Like others, we were creative with our peppers. We used half a red bell pepper, half a poblano pepper and a generous tablespoon full of the Habanero Pepper Jelly (by Lunasea here on allrecipes). Was wonderful on the salmon. I later paired the leftover salsa with Trader Joe's Curried Kale & Cauliflower salad for lunch. Yum!

Easy and yummy!! I cooked some of the salsa on top then put fresh when it was done. Super yummy!!!

excellent

This dish was delicious! I added some corn, rice and taco seasoning, to make a rice dish to go with baked fish.

Easy and fast recipe. My family loved it!

Great recipe! I’m very satisfied with how it turned out. Here is what I changed. I marinated the salmon in teriyaki sauce. I did not have the Chile jelly stuff for the salsa so I diced around a half jalapeño instead. I doubled the lime, cilantro, onion (red onion used) and red bell pepper. My husband loved it and so did I. It’s going on our rotation for sure!

Delicious as is!

Excellent salsa for salmon! It was easy, quick and tasted out of this world.

I've been making something similar to this for years. I usually add pineapple and diced oranges with a bit of honey and scallions. If you do use fresh pineapple, please do not store the leftover salmon with the salsa. The pineapple will turn the fish mushy.

loved this recipe, very easy!

Hi! I was hoping to find the crunchy slaw receipe shown with the salmon but I was unsuccessful. Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you!

What a great recipe! Both my husband and I loved it and think it would be a great recipe for company. So easy too.

I couldn't find the jam, so I used Monteleone Italian peppers in oil....perfect!

Absolutely the best we've ever had.. 2 thumbs up

Top Drawer, my companion is the Salmon fanatic and she wants more

This is probably one of the easiest things ive ever made. Also, it tastes pretty good.

Yep; two thumbs up. Filets had a beautiful crust, moist centers. I had thick cuts, so the saute time was a little longer. A nice thing about salmon is that you can watch the sides for doneness. NOTE: Make sure you know your couscous. This recipe calls for quick couscous, so prepare what you have to the correct directions. A little extra time may be required. And add a little extra salt to the boiling water. This one is a keeper. Delicious.

I made this last night and it was delicious. I can't get hold of the Earth and Vine red pepper and ancho chili jam, so I used red pepper jelly and added dried jalapeno to it and cooked it down to more jam-like consistency. Turned out great!

This came out pretty good. The salmon was delicious. But I had trouble dicing and peeling my mango, probably since it was going bad. So instead of diced chunks, I had like mango mush like it was defrosted in the fridge. I skipped the ancho jam and added red pepper. I didn't have any cilantro and skipped it too. But it came out pretty good. I would make it again.

Very good mix of flavors! Wife loved it and said it was a keeper!

Substituted the jelly for jalapeño jelly since I couldn’t find red bell pepper and ancho chile jelly at the store. Salmon came out OK, but the mango slaw is amazing! Paired with a side salad and a glass of wine.

This turned out fantastic!!! I was told it was like a 5 star restaurant . Thanks chef John.

Excellent taste. Refreshing new recipe to try. Loved the mango touch.

The only pepper jelly I found at the store was Jamaican Habanero so I went with that. Also chopped and added 1 small red bell pepper for colour and extra flavour. It was delicious on the salmon. I will definitely make this again.

This recipe didn’t quite work for me. The salmon was very tasty, but took longer to cook. Maybe my fillets were thicker? Additionally, my mango wasn’t very flavorful, and didn’t blend well with the pepper jelly and lime juice. It was mango lumps with puddles of liquid. But the salmon, once done was very good, and I improved my salmon-skinning skills by watching Chef John’s video!

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.

Served over a nice crunchy slaw - such a great combo of flavors & textures! I’ve made this several times now, and always make extra for lunch the next day - I just flake the cold salmon into a refreshed slaw (I just throw the leftover slaw over more fresh cabbage/any other shredded veggies on hand), and add the mango salsa like a dressing. I’ll keep making this one again & again! Plus, this is a stink-free way to bring leftover salmon into a break-room - no microwaving required!

This was delicious, and so, so easy to make. Next time, I'd leave the fish to cook longer than two minutes, though. I ended up having to put it back in the pan because it wasn't cooked through.

This was absolutely the best! Not a big fan of salmon so this fab side was perfect. My husband, ever the skeptic loved it also. The pepper jam is wonderful think I will use this chutneyon many things and it is so pretty

Love this recipe! I also use red pepper jelly relish and a dash of cayenne for some more kick. I broil the fish for 8min with some

A quick way to make delicious salmon. If you are really rushed for time you can substitute jar mango salsa. A nice summer meal.

Loved this recipe. The mango salsa added a wonderful fresh and light flavor to the salmon. We bedded the salmon on an Asian slaw type salad in a bag. I’m not a huge mango fan, but this salsa was certainly good. We used the same recipe with some added diced avocado on some mahi mahi fish tacos and loved that as well. Another winner Chef John!

It was delicious. HOWEVER.... The recipe puts the bell peppers on the same lin as the pepper jelly. I had to go to the store for the jelly and hardly anyone carries it. # different stores! Finally found it. Like I said, it was delicious. I even made it again and substituted Tilapia for the Salmon (OK, so I am cheap). It was excellent also.

I made it exactly as recipe called for. I will make it again. Its' a keeper for me.

Arguably the tastiest thing I've ever made, although I'm pretty new to cooking. The mango and salmon flavors pair fantastically, and I really appreciated the simplicty of the preparation. I had but one problem, and I'm probably just bad at this, or I was supposed to butterfly it or something, but 2-3 minutes to a side did absolutely nothing to cook my salmon through. Ended up shoving the skillet in the oven for about 15 minutes to get it cooked perfectly. 10/10 would make again.

This recipe is a keeper. I seasoned the salmon to taste using what I had on hand and felt a taste for. The mango salsa is delicious! What a great combo.

It was fabulous. The mango relish was excellent!

Delicious recipe, I couldn’t find the pepper jelly so I usefully strawberry habanero that I had in my fridge. Have made it twice and everybody loved it.

Absolutely delicious and introduced me to Mango Salsa. I've since used the salsa with other fish and a pork tenderloin and was a HUGE hit both times.

I made this and it was my favorite salmon dish ever as I have about 3-4 staples of different salmon dishes. Love the Mango salsa on top. It turned out perfect

Fantastic recipe. I made as is except for substituting green Paprika (bell Peppers) instead of red. I chopped a small bird eye pepper deseeded and added to mango salsa. This recipe can be highly recommended.

This was amazing! I just used red pepper jelly because that’s all they had at the market, but I added a whole jalapeño & avocado! Delicious!!

Favorite salmon recipe that will impress you and your company. Served with baked sweet potatoes and popovers with whipped cinnamon butter. Heavenly!

Delicious!

I had burned out on salmon awhile back, but we’re trying to get more fish into our diet again, and oddly I had ancho chili jam in the pantry. I made this and it was absolutely amazing. Hardest part was dicing the mango! The mango/chili jam salsa really makes it. Everyone raved and this is now a recurring family favorite.

Great! WHERE IS THE SLAW RECIPE????

This was delicious and easy. I had a thick piece of salmon so cooked it for 4 minutes and then flipped, covered and left it off the heat for about 5. It was perfect.

Love love it!

Definitely a keeper!

loved it!!!! I made a Ancho chili pepper jam, with Serrano chili's , Bell peppers, Apple cider vinegar, and sugar. it was delicious... My family loved it!!!! than you!

Love it!

This dish was absolutely delicious. I added diced pineapples, red onions, red bell peppers and corn. I could not find the red pepper ancho jam, so I simply hydrated the Ancho chili seasoning I bought at the store. This was a hit on my family table.

This is a family 5 Star favorite

This turned out great. I had a larger piece of salmon so I cooked for 4-5 min before flipping the salmon and then another 4-5 in the skillet off the heat. I couldn’t find the suggested jam so I used Strawberry Balsamic Serrano Jam. This was so easy to make; I’ll make this again.

Delicious! I added some red onion. This is a KEEPER!

I did not have the Jam so I left it out and we loved it. Will definitely make it again.

I did make this and also substituted the Jalapeño jelly as was not able to find the one called for. It was amazing - will make again. Thank you Chef.

I love Salmon, and this recipe did not disappoint. I used Tobassco brand pepper jelly, and it worked very well.
