Ingredients
Salmon
- 2 4 ounce salmon filets
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter
- 3-4 tablespoons low sodium tamari or soy sauce I like 4, but use 3 if you don't want it too salty or saucey
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chili paste such as sambal oelek
- 1 teaspoon tapioca starch
Mango Salsa
- 1 cup diced mango
- ½ avocado
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ½ cup diced cucumber
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Remove the skin from the salmon and cut into roughly 1 inch pieces.
- You can either have the butcher remove the skin, or simply pour boiling water over the skin and then peel it off.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the salmon pieces and saute on each side until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes each side.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all remaining sauce ingredients in a small dish.
- Once the salmon is crispy, pour in the sauce and saute until the sauce thickens. There will be extra sauce, but I like to drizzle it on top of the rice.
- While it's thickening, combine all ingredients for the mango salsa.
- Serve the salmon over rice, then top with the mango salsa and red pepper flakes for spice if desired.
Notes
Feel free to swap the butter for olive oil for a dairy free option.
