Chef John's Salmon Mango Bango

Chef John's Salmon Mango Bango
  • 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons red bell pepper and ancho chili pepper jam
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin removed
  • sea salt to taste
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil


  1. Stir mango, lime juice, pepper jam, and cilantro together in a bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for relish flavors to combine, about 30 minutes.
  2. Season salmon fillets with sea salt.
  3. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until oil begins to smoke. Place salmon, flesh-side down, in the hot skillet and cook until edges are just starting to cook through, about 2 minutes. Flip fillets, remove skillet from heat, and let fillets sit in the hot pan until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and top with chilled mango relish.
