It seems like we've been eating everything but fish these days which is kind of unusual for us so I decided I would cook up some salmon. I like salmon enough that I don't really need to do much with it other than toss it into the oven but I decided I would get clever with it by marinating it and serving it with a fruity relish.
Before I get to the recipe let me tell you about a discovery my wife and I made. When we buy salmon we typically pickup "Fresh Atlantic Salmon" which sounds like it's caught right out of the ocean. But then one day we picked up Coho Salmon and discovered that it has an extremely fishy taste and to be honest, neither of us liked it and we wanted our Atlantic salmon from the ocean. When we were discussing it with the meet counter clerk, it turns out that the Atlantic salmon which we thought came from the ocean is actually farm raised and the Coho salmon is actually wild.
I like fish but I'm not a fishy-fish kind of guy so I'll continue to buy the Atlantic salmon until I find out that it's bad for me which I'm sure is probably the case.
Salmon with Mango-Kiwi Relish
- four salmon fillets
- one tbsp honey
- one tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- one tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
Thoroughly combine honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and pepper in a Ziploc bag. Add salmon and refrigerate for 30 minutes turning once.
Mango-Kiwi Relish
- one mango, cubed
- one kiwi, cubed
- one tbsp fresh cilantro
- two large navel oranges
In a large bowl, combine mango, kiwi, and cilantro. In a small bowl, squeeze juice from oranges removing the seeds and then add juice to large bowl containing fruit. Refrigerate.
Bake salmon in a greased baking dish for approximately 20 minutes or until center is no longer pink. I guess that really doesn't make sense since the entire fish is pink but you know what I mean.
Serve relish over fish. And then if you're like me and there's extra relish, spoon directly into your mouth. :)
