Moan-day Night Mango Salsa and Honey Orange Salmon Salad

All I have to say is, this was A*mah*zing. The fish was so fresh and all the ingredients were so light that after eating you feel great. I basically just created this dish with ingredients we had in the fridge, and since tomorrow is food shopping day, I basically tried to use all of our fresh ingredients that needed to be used before the new shopping trip.

NOTE about the Salmon-
We bought a big slab of salmon from Costco and it was very fresh and did not taste fishy at all. Please edit your cooking time to the size of your fish (salmon normally is cooked at 350 for 15 minutes) but this salmon was huge.

...ingredients...
FOR SALMON:
salmon
orange juice enough to cover salmon
honey enough to glaze over salmon
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. cayenne pepper

FOR SALAD:
Mixed greens spring mix
Feta Cheese
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced

FOR MANGO SALSA:
Jalapeno slices to preference
3 mangos, peeled and cubed
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon OJ
1 tablespoon EVOO
3 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons cilantro
2 tsp. cayenne pepper

For Dressing
1 part Balsamic Vinegar
1 part EVOO

....directions...

Marinate salmon for 2 hours in OJ and apple cider vinegar enough to cover fish. Take fish out, dump OJ, glaze with honey and top with cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Cook according to size of fish. I bake our large piece for 15 minutes and 350 and then broiled on low for 6 minutes.

Prepare salad and put in bowl with feta cheese and cucumbers.

Dice mangos, garlic, onion and chop cilantro. Combine in bowl, top with jalapenos, OJ and EVOO, salt and pepper. Mix, top with cayenne.

To serve put greens on plate, top with salmon, then salsa. Dress your salad with EVOO and Balsamic.

Delish!
