🌶️ Mango & Papaya Chilli Glazed Salmon with Coconut Rice and Mango Salsa

(serves 2)
Ingredients
For the salmon and glaze
2 salmon fillets (about 150-200g each)
2 tbsp Screaming Chimp Mango & Papaya Chilli Sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp lime juice
For the coconut rice
150g jasmine rice (or other fragrant rice)
200ml coconut milk
100ml water
Pinch of salt
For the mango salsa
½ ripe mango, diced
½ small red onion, finely diced
½ red bell pepper, diced
A small handful of fresh coriander (chopped)
Juice of ½ lime
Salt & pepper
Method
Prep the rice
Rinse the jasmine rice.
Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for ~12-15 minutes until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Make the glaze
In a small bowl, mix the Screaming Chimp Mango & Papaya Chilli Sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and lime juice.
Cook the salmon
Season the salmon lightly with salt & pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin), cook for ~3-4 minutes.
Flip, brush generously with the glaze, and cook for another 2-3 minutes (or until cooked to your liking), brushing again with glaze to build up flavour.
Make the mango salsa
In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, bell pepper, and coriander.
Squeeze over lime juice, season with salt & pepper. Mix gently.
Assemble & serve
Serve the salmon over coconut rice.
Spoon mango salsa on the side or over top.
Drizzle extra Mango & Papaya Chilli Sauce if you want more sweetness or heat.
Tips & Variations
Swap salmon for shrimp, chicken breast, or tofu if you prefer.
For more heat, add sliced fresh chilli or a pinch of chilli flakes to the glaze.
You could also roast or grill the salmon under a broiler for a slight char.
If you prefer a crunch, add cucumber or mango salsa onto shredded cabbage for some texture.
