Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

4 salmon fillets
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup jasmine rice
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
1 cup water
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, and olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the honey-ginger mixture generously over the top of each fillet.
Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and creamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the mango salsa.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon over a bed of coconut rice, topped with fresh mango salsa. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Allow the salmon to marinate longer for deeper flavor absorption.

For best results, let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. If you’re short on time, a quick 10 minutes will still work. You can substitute jasmine rice with basmati rice if preferred, and feel free to adjust the amount of ginger in the glaze to suit your taste.

To store leftover salmon, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or enjoy cold in salads.
