Ingredients:
-
For the Marinade:
- 1 tablespoon honey 🍯
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce 🍜
- 1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 🧂
-
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) 🐟
-
For the Kiwi-Mango Relish:
- 1 kiwi fruit, peeled and diced 🥝
- 1/2 mango, peeled and diced 🥭
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 🌿
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a large zip-lock plastic bag, combine the honey, low sodium soy sauce, olive oil, and black pepper. Seal the bag and shake it gently to mix the ingredients well.
-
Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets into the bag with the marinade. Seal the bag and gently turn it to coat the salmon evenly. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even marination.
-
Heat the Pan:
- While the salmon is marinating, heat a grill pan or a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Cook the Salmon:
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and discard the marinade. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add the salmon fillets to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
-
Prepare the Kiwi-Mango Relish:
- While the salmon is cooking, prepare the relish. In a small bowl, combine the diced kiwi, diced mango, and chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well to combine the flavors.
-
Serve:
- Once the salmon is cooked through, transfer it to serving plates. Spoon the kiwi-mango relish generously over each salmon fillet.
