Ingredients
300g salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
1 ripe mango
1 avocado
2 tablespoons red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon green onion, sliced
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic (optional)
½ teaspoon chili flakes or sriracha (optional)
Instructions
1. Peel and dice the mango. Blend into a smooth purée with lime juice, salt, and optional garlic or chili for heat. Set aside.
2. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes. Pat dry, then toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium-high. Add salmon cubes and cook 2–3 minutes per side. Brush mango sauce over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.
4. Slice the avocado, red onion, and green onion. Zest the lime and cut into wedges.
5. In serving bowls, layer salmon, avocado, red onion, and green onion. Drizzle with mango sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and finish with lime zest. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Always pat the salmon dry before cooking for the best sear.
Use ripe mango for the smoothest, sweetest sauce.
Assemble the bowl just before serving for freshest flavor and texture.
