Tequila-Mango Sauce

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. This is an amazingly simple dish to make. You can look like a cooking whiz with this one even if you’re not.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4, 6-8 oz salmon fillets
• 1-1/2 cups of fresh mango. You can use mangos that you peel yourself. That’s the best option but if you are in a hurry or hate to peel mangos as much as I do, you can buy mango in a jar in the produce section. Just be sure to rinse it. The mango is floating in a sugar-water solution to preserve it.
• 1/3 cup of silver (clear) tequila
• 2 Tbl of lime juice (or to taste)
• 4 pieces of wild caught salmon (wild salmon is much healthier than farm-raised salmon)
• 1 Tbl of olive oil

Optional garnishes:

• Cherry tomatoes, chopped green onions and minced cilantro (all of those are shown in the picture)

Instructions:

In your blender add the mango, tequila and lime juice. Whiz it until smooth. Set aside

Sprinkle your salmon with sea salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in  a sauté pan until warm. Place the salmon flesh-side down into the pan. Cook 2 minutes on medium might to sear the salmon. Turn it over and cook 2 -4 minutes more on medium low to finish the salmon. The cooking time varies because people like their salmon at different degrees of doneness. You decide what is best for you.

Plate your salmon and drizzle on the sauce. Then scatter your garnishes to make the dish look extra special.

I served this with sweet and spicy mashed yams on the side.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
