Salmon With Tropical Fruit Salsa

Fresh salmon really needs little adornment, but it does combine very well with the exotic flavours in this colourful salsa.

Ingredients

4 salmon steaks or fillets, about 175g/6oz each
Finely grated rind and juice of 1 lime
1 small, ripe mango
1 small, ripe paw-paw
1 red chilli
45ml/3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Details

Serves: 4

Method

1. Place the salmon in a wide dish and sprinkle over half the lime rind and juice. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Cut the mango in half, cutting either side of the stone, and remove the stone. Finely chop the mango flesh and place the chunks in a bowl.

3. Halve the paw-paw, scoop out the seeds with a spoon and remove the peel. Finely chop the flesh and add it to the mango chunks in the bowl.

4. Cut the chilli in half lengthways. Leave the seeds in to make the salsa hot and spicy, or remove them for a milder flavour. Finely chop the chilli.

5. Combine the mango, paw-paw, chilli and coriander in a bowl and stir in the remaining lime rind and juice. Season to taste with plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

6. Cook the salmon on a medium barbecue for about 5-8 minutes, turning once. Serve with the fruit salsa.
