BBQ Salmon bowl with mango and rice
BBQ Salmon with mango salsa. An easy ands impressive dinner with yummy smuky sweet flavour and some nice homemade salsa
Description:
Salmon lovers, salmon skeptics… gather round, all of you.
This is not your ordinary salmon. It is salmon that’s been given a delicious and aggressive treatment of sweet and smoky spices, which then gets broiled (fast! easy!) which results in a lightly crunchy outer layer, which conveniently mixes-and-matches with that buttery, silky, lime-zesty, sweet and juicy mango avocado salsa. It’s equal parts super pretty and not fancy, which is why we just pile a scoop of each on hot steamy rice and don’t get too precious about it. This is the bowl life.
You might be saying, nah, I don’t really like salmon, and honestly I can respect that because salmon is salmon sometimes.
But also: you haven’t had this salmon yet. You are about to be changed. Seriously. I would just like to say, it’s an honor and a privilege to be a part of your conversion experience.
Ingredients:
- 450g fresh salmon

- 0.5 lime, a squeeze of lime juice + a little lime zest

Instructions:
1- Mango Salsa:
This takes about ten minutes. It’s just a chop and mix situation. As you can see, I love love love a mango salsa situation on salmon.
Bring your self-control because otherwise this will be gone before the salmon hits the table :-)
2- The BBQ Salmon:
Salmon. Spice rub.
Broil.
Done.
