My Mango's Not Ripe

Pucker up baby! This sucker is sour. Now what do I do with a mango that's not ripe?

I know...I'll make mango salsa.





Here's the recipe:


1 mango (ripe or otherwise), diced
1 firm plum tomato, remove seeds and dice
1 clove garlic, minced fine
1 tsp shallot, minced fine
juice of 1/2 lime
1 tsp lemon pepper
cilantro, minced fine

Mix all together and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Now what do I want to cook that goes with mango salsa?

Salmon...after all it is Friday.

The recipe is for one salmon filet:

1/8 cup crushed crisp Chinese chow mein noodles
pinch kosher salt
1 Tbsp Greek yogurt, plain
2-3 tsp butter

Coat the salmon with the yogurt. You might get a little messy.

Once coated with the yogurt, roll the salmon in the chow mein noodles with the pinch of salt.

Heat a frying pan to medium heat, melt a tsp of butter and add the salmon. Cook about 4 minutes. Add another tsp of butter and flip the salmon. Cook another 4 minutes.



Yum!

Another alternative to a half lime is to buy the lime juice. I almost fell over when I saw the price of limes today. Fresh lime juice is available in most produce departments. Lets hope the price of those doesn't go up as quickly as the real fruit.
