Ingredients

• 2 large mangoes (use Kensington Pride or Pearl mangoes)
• 4 salmon fillets (skin on, bones removed, 200g each)

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1/4 tsp ground chilli powder

Cooking Instructions

• Add 2 tbsp olive oil and place mangoes, flesh side down in pan.
• Cook for 3 minutes, or until nicely browned.
• Turn mangoes and place into hot oven for 5 minutes.
• To cook the fish, rub the skin with some sea salt.
• Heat a frypan over low heat until really hot.
• Add 2 tbsp olive oil, heat, then add salmon, skin side down.
• Cook the fish for 5 minutes, or until the skin is a nice and crispy brown.
• Turn the fish and cook in the oven for 5 minutes.
