Recipe Intro From andrealoretdemola
I originally wrote this recipe last year, May 2020, and it has been one of my go-to recipes ever since. This salmon recipe takes no longer than 25 minutes from start to finish and is light and bright, which is perfect for the warmer months ahead.
Grilled chicken or any other white fish can take the place of the salmon and you can swap in any tropical fruits like pineapple and papaya instead of mango. I highly suggest making this recipe when mangos are ripe and in season. The black bean mango salsa is sweet, spicy, and bright which cuts the fatty salmon for a perfectly balanced bite.
This salmon can be served as in or flaked into tacos with avocado, crema and a round of margaritas. Enjoy.
