Quantity : 2 servings
Preparation : 10 min Cooking : 10 min
220 calories/serving

Ingredients
2 salmon steaks 340 g
1 tbsp olive oil 15 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1/2 mangoes 150 g
1/2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped 1 g
1 tbsp gingerroot, grated 14 g
1/4 dried chili peppers 0.1 g
1 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed 1/2 lime

Before you start
The steaks can be cooked using either a broiler in the oven or an outdoor grill.
A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the dip.

Method
Place the salmon steaks in a glass baking dish. Brush them with the oil and a few drops of the lime juice, then let them marinate 10 min while preparing the barbecue, or preheating the broiler, and preparing the mango dip.
Peel the mango, cut the flesh from the pit and add it to a blender. Coarsely chop the fresh cilantro, grate the ginger and mince the chili pepper, then add them to the blender. Pour in the remaining lime juice and pulse the blender until a smooth consistency is reached.
Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat the broiler. Cook the salmon until just opaque, about 4-5 min per side. Check with a fork to see if the fish is cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the steaks with the dip on the side.
