Grilled Salmon Mango Salad With Coconut Dressing Recipes

GRILLED SALMON WITH MANGO SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all the mango salsa ingredients in a medium-size bowl, tossing well to mix. Taste, and then add additional salt as needed. Store in the fridge while you prepare the salmon.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Oil the grill grates or grill pan liberally.
• Combine the garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture liberally over the salmon fillets.
• Grill the salmon filets over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side (thicker filets might need a minute or two longer), or until the fish is flaky and opaque.
• Serve immediately, topped with the salsa and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

GRILLED SALMON WITH MANGO SALSA AND COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• In an 11x7-inch baking dish whisk together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste (a fair amount of each).
• Place salmon in baking dish, cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator 15 - 30 minutes, then flip salmon to opposite side and allow to marinate 15 - 30 minutes longer. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat during last 10 minutes of marinating.
• Brush grill grates with oil. Place salmon on grill and grill about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through (turn carefully as the salmon will be fragile).
• While salmon is marinating prepare coconut rice. In a medium saucepan bring coconut water, coconut milk, rice and salt to a full boil.
• Cover and simmer until liquid has been absorbed (there may be just a little bit of excess liquid in center which you can drain off), about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let rest 5 minutes.
• While the salmon is grilling prepare salsa. In a medium bowl toss together mango, bell pepper, cilantro, red onion, avocado, lime juice, olive oil and coconut water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve salmon warm with coconut rice top with avocado mango salsa.

GRILLED SALMON & MANGO SALAD WITH COCONUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Place the salmon, skin-side up, on a foil-lined tray, season well and rub the sugar on top. Grill for about 10 mins until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, blanch the beans in boiling water for 1 min, drain, rinse in cold water and drain again. Arrange on 4 plates, then add the mango and shallots.
• Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Break the salmon into a few pieces over each plate. Add the mint or coriander leaves, coconut and chilli to each. Pour over the dressing and serve with a lime wedge.

CRISPY COCONUT PRAWN & MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Run a sharp knife down the back of each prawn and remove the grey line that runs from the head to the tail. Whisk the coconut milk until smooth, then tip half into a bowl with the prawns. Add half the lime juice and a pinch of salt, mix well and set aside for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining coconut milk with the rest of the lime juice, the sesame oil, sugar or honey, and a pinch of salt.
• Divide the watercress or spinach between two plates, then top with the mango, avocado and red onion slices, the mint and sliced chillies.
• Pour a 1-2cm depth of oil into a large saucepan over a medium heat. Combine the desiccated coconut with the cornflour and some seasoning. Drain the prawns and turn in the cornflour mixture to coat, shaking off any excess.
• Drop one prawn into the oil; if it sizzles, add a few more, but don't overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 mins on each side until crisp and golden, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. When all the prawns are fried, scatter them over the salad and drizzle with the dressing.
