Chef John's Salmon Mango Bango image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons red bell pepper and ancho chili pepper jam
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 salmon fillets, skin removed
sea salt to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 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.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making it.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it was terrible. The salmon was dry and the mango and bango sauce was curdled. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a complete disaster. The salmon was undercooked and the mango and bango sauce was way too spicy. I couldn't even eat it.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The salmon was bland and the mango and bango sauce was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The salmon was a bit overcooked and the mango and bango sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was less mango in the sauce. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a big fan of mango, but I still enjoyed this dish. The bango sauce is so flavorful that it really masks the taste of the mango. I would definitely make this again, even if I used a different fruit.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I had some leftover grilled salmon from last night, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up. The mango and bango sauce is also a great way to add some extra flavor to the salmon.

I'm not a huge fan of salmon, but this recipe changed my mind. The mango and bango sauce are so flavorful that they mask the fishy taste of the salmon. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salmon mango bango dish is an explosion of flavors in my mouth! The sweetness of the mango perfectly complements the savory salmon, while the bango sauce adds a unique and tangy kick. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. High
