Ingredients

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets (400g)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp orange zest

For the Salad

  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • 2 mangoes (diced)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cucumber (diced)
  • salt (to taste)
  • lemon juice (to taste)
  • A drizzle of olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a large bowl, mix together the orange juice, garlic powder, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well combined.
  • Add the salmon fillets to the marinade. Flip them a few times to ensure both sides are evenly coated. Marinate for 15 minutes, skin side up.
  • Prepare the salad by combining the avocado, mangoes, red onion, cilantro, and cucumber in a bowl. Season with lemon juice, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss gently to combine.
  • Place the salmon in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C for 9 minutes. If using an oven, bake at 180°C for about 12 minutes.
  • Pour the remaining marinade into a pan, add the orange zest, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. To check, run a spatula through the sauce, if it leaves a clear line, it’s ready.
  • Glaze the salmon with the sauce, and garnish with cilantro.
  • Serve the salmon with the salad over a bed of rice or on its own.
