Grilled Salmon with Thai Style Calypso Mango Salad

This is such a fresh, satisfying and flavour packed dish. Simple enough to whip up any night of the week, and it makes for some great leftovers and/or meal prep for a summer salad the next day!
INGREDIENTS
-
2 cups organic red rice, or preferred rice, cooked according to packet instructions.
-
2 Calypso mangoes, cheeks cut into small pieces
-
1 Lebanese cucumber, quartered, thinly sliced
-
1 large red chili, seeds removed, thinly sliced
-
½ cup each picked mint & coriander
-
¼ cup finely sliced shallots
-
1 small red onion, finely sliced
-
2 tbsp fish sauce
-
Juice 2 limes
-
1 tbsp palm sugar
-
4 x 160g pieces salmon or ocean trout fillet
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
Sea salt
-
Black pepper
-
Lime wedges to serve
METHOD:
-
Cook the rice according to packed instructions and keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, prepare all the ingredients as instructed and place in a mixing bowl and set aside.
-
To make the dressing, dissolve the palm sugar into the fish sauce and lime juice and set aside.
-
Remove the fish form the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cook it. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Season the fish with salt and a little pepper. Add the the oil to the hot pan then the fish, skin side down.
-
Keep the heat high and cook for 1 minute then cover the pan with a lid (this helps gently cook the flesh while the skin crisps) and turn down to a medium heat and continue to cook for 2 minutes minute more. Remove the lid, flip the fish and check for your preferred doneness. If you like your fish medium rare, rest the fish on a plate skin side up. If you want it well done, keep cooking for another 1-2 minutes and leave in the pan when you take it off the heat to gently cook through.
-
While the fish is cooking dress the salad and gently mix. To serve, spoon some rice over a large platter or individual plates, top with the fish and mango salad and serve with lime and a little flake sea salt ion the fish.
