I learned a few things during the preparations for this meal and post:

1)  King Salmon is the state fish of Alaska; and

2)  Crispy salmon skin is apparently a delicacy, akin to deep-fried pork rinds or chiccarones.

Confession: I’ve never tried pork rinds. Not sure which will happen first – salmon rinds or pork … place your bets.

How We Prepared It:

  • Mango-glazed salmon filets
  • Mashed potatoes 
  • Green beans
  • Cotes du Ventoux wine, a nice little red from the Rhone Valley in France
Ingredients for the mango glaze
Simmer together
Strain out the solids
Look at the beautiful salmon filets!

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 (10-ounce) bottle mango nectar
  • 6 (6-ounce) salmon filets, about 1 inch thick


Directions:
  • Stir together first 6 ingredients in a small saucepan (everything except the fish).

  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 25 minutes or until reduced to ¾ cup. 

  • Pour mango mixture through a wire-mesh strainer; discard solids.

  • Return mango mixture to saucepan; keep warm.

  • Place salmon on a rack in a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 5-1/2 inches from heat about 3-5 minutes. 

  • Brush fish with 1/3 cup of mango mixture. 

  • Broil 2-3 minutes more or until fish flakes easily with a fork. 

  • Spoon remaining mango mixture evenly over fish.

The Verdict: Good idea – sweet fruity glaze atop this hearty fish – but I took the sauce off the heat too soon. It didn’t thicken up enough. 

Will definitely try this again – the cinnamon and star anise flavors make it very special.
