Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Peel and pit the mango, then puree the flesh until smooth. |
| 2 | In a saucepan, combine the mango puree with mustard seeds, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. |
| 3 | Simmer the mixture for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. |
| 4 | Allow the mixture to cool, then transfer it to a blender or food processor. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. |
| 5 | At this stage, you can choose to refrigerate or freeze the mango-mustard sauce for later use. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. |
| 6 | Preheat your broiler, grill, or oven to 450ยฐF (230ยฐC). |
| 7 | Spread about half of the mango-mustard glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. |
| 8 | Place the salmon on a baking sheet or grill rack, then cook for approximately 12 minutes per inch of thickness. |
| 9 | Halfway through the cooking time, baste the salmon with 1/3 cup of the reserved glaze to enhance the flavor. |
| 10 | To check for doneness, insert a fork or knife into the thickest part of the salmon; it should flake easily when done. |
| 11 | Once cooked, drizzle the remaining glaze over the salmon fillets for an extra burst of flavor. |
| 12 | Serve the Mango-Mustard Salmon hot, accompanied by your favorite sides. Enjoy! |
