Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 200g salmon mousse
- 1 mango, diced
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon fillets by patting them dry with paper towels and seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, combine diced mango, curry powder, and coconut milk. Simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango becomes soft and the sauce thickens.
- While the sauce is simmering, preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with olive oil.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin becomes crispy and golden.
- Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Blend the curried mango sauce in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky texture.
- Spread a generous layer of salmon mousse on each plate, then place a cooked salmon fillet on top.
- Drizzle the curried mango sauce around the salmon and garnish with fresh herbs or microgreens if desired.
- Serve immediately while the salmon is still warm and the sauce is fresh.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always start with salmon at room temperature to ensure even cooking. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels to achieve that crispy, golden skin.
- Don't Overcook: Salmon is best when it's still slightly translucent in the center. Use a meat thermometer and aim for 145°F (63°C) for perfectly cooked fish.
- Sauce Consistency: When making the curried mango sauce, take your time simmering to develop deep, rich flavors. Straining the sauce ensures a silky-smooth texture.
- Mousse Magic: For an extra luxurious touch, make your salmon mousse ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator to firm up.
- Garnish Matters: Fresh herbs or microgreens not only add a pop of color but also bring a fresh, aromatic element to the dish.
- Pan Selection: Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan to prevent the delicate salmon from sticking and to achieve that perfect crispy skin.Pro tip: Pair this dish with a crisp white wine or a light, citrusy cocktail to complement the rich flavors of the salmon and mango sauce.
