Mango Salsa


Mangoes are plentiful right now and relatively cheap. A mango salsa is a great way to use mangoes for a refreshing spring or summer dish. In the late afternoon I made the following recipe and let the flavors "marry" in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  • 1 ripe mango - peeled and diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion - peeled and finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper - seeded and finely diced
  • handful of cilantro leaves - coarsely chopped
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 avocado - diced (optional - add at the last minute)
Last night I cooked halibut following this recipe:
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
  • Sprinkle halibut with salt and pepper
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet
  • Sear one side of the halibut in the skillet. Cook until browned
  • Carefully turn the fish over and sear the other side
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5 minutes
  • Add mango salsa and serve
A side of roasted baby (tiny!) Nantes carrots and a salad from the CSA box completed the meal.
