Seared Salmon Fillets with Mango & Prawn Salsa

Mar 28 03:36pm
Ingredients
* 4 x 200g Atlantic Salmon fillets, with skin off
* olive oil, for cooking
* freshly ground pepper & salt, to taste
Mango and Prawn Salsa
* 1 ripe mango, peeled with stone removed
* 8 large cooked prawns, peeled and roughly chopped
* 1/2 red capsicum, seeded and finely chopped
* 100g cucumber, seeded and finely chopped
* 1 tbs roughly chopped coriander
* 1 tbs roughly chopped mint
* squeeze of fresh lime
* lime wedges to serve

Method

Prepare salsa: Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl, and combine gently using a fork - but don't overwork, otherwise the mango will become mushy. Heat a large grill plate until hot. Meanwhile, rub salmon fillets with olive oil and season with freshly ground pepper and salt. Place salmon in the hot pan skin side down and sear salmon for approximately 2 minutes until skin is lightly browned and slightly crispy. Turn salmon and cook other side for 1 minute only. Remove from heat and place on a serving plate. The fish should be cooked on the outside but still rare on the inside. Serve with a spoon full of salsa on top of the salmon and a little extra to the side. Garnish with extra coriander and serve immediately.

TIP: This dish is equally good cooked on the BBQ or in a pan. Fish should only be cooked for as long as you would cook a piece of toast never over cook it or it will become quite dry and rubbery in texture.
