How to Make Mango Mustard Salmon

  1. Peel and pit 1 ripe mango. Puree the flesh using a blender or food processor.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the mango puree (approximately 1 cup), 1/4 cup mango nectar, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let the glaze cool completely. Once cooled, puree again in a blender or food processor for a smoother consistency.
  5. At this point, you can store the mango-mustard sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  6. Preheat your broiler, grill, or oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Place salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each) on a baking sheet or grill pan. Spread about half of the mango-mustard glaze evenly over each fillet.
  8. Broil, grill, or bake for 12 minutes per inch of thickness. For example, a 1-inch thick fillet will cook for approximately 12 minutes.
  9. After 6 minutes of cooking, baste the salmon with 1/3 cup of the remaining glaze.
  10. Test the salmon at the thickest part with a fork; it's done when it flakes easily.
  11. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the cooked salmon and serve immediately. Enjoy!
