Need a new exciting fish dish to serve, whether as an appetizer or as a main for a dairy meal? We’re going “nuts” for this mango salmon.
I prepare salmon often, and while my family would prefer the favorites (“Why try something else when you know what we like?), sometimes I really get rewarded when I experiment…and I did here. After serving this fish, when I came back to the table, the entire fish was wiped clean…all that was left on the plate was the skin.
“I guess it was good!” I said.
And it also couldn’t be easier.
Nuts for Nuts…
A bit about the ingredients. I think the avocados and mango don’t need elaboration, but I must tell you about the nuts I used. I first picked up Sahale Snacks nut mixes at Wegmans just because they looked interesting. Then I used them to sprinkle on my fish appetizer at the Friday night meal during the Shabbat of my son’s bar mitzvah. And I just loved them. The company makes lots of flavors of original nut mixes, but I used the Tangerine and Vanilla Macadamia Nut and Cashew Nut Mix (here’s snack-sized bags on Amazon). Having these kinds of tricks in your pantry just make it easy to present gourmet dishes with less work! (Note: They’re certified Chaf K – DE).
- 1-2 lbs salmon, cut any way you like it
- Fish seasoning, for sprinkling (I used Old Bay)
- 1 ripe but firm avocado, diced
- Glazed nuts, for sprinkling. I used Sahale Tangerine-Almond
- 1 ripe mango
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk (any type is fine)
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Spray fish with nonstick cooking spray, then sprinkle generously with fish seasoning (sprinkle with salt too if your seasoning mix does not include it). Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your fillets.
- Meanwhile, prepare mango sauce. Blend mango, coconut milk, and lemon juice.
- To plate the dish, place fish on plate. Scatter diced avocado all other. Drizzle with mango sauce and sprinkle with nuts. Enjoy!

Did you top it with scallions as well, or is that my imagination?
Haha, yes! That’s the @reneemuller added touch!
I would love to try this! Looks good.
Are there any brands of fish seasoning that’s possible to buy in a local grocery store? Not sure I ever saw this brand.
Same for the nuts. Can I just buy any glazed nuts? Do these have such a specific flavor?
Alright, alright, I ordered the nuts…;)
How do you get these nice squares of salmon? What do you ask for?
Ask the fish store to cut them like that for you!
I looked on amazon for sahale nuts but don’t see a hechsher Are they Kosher?
Yes. They’re certified Chaf-K DE
What nuts can be used instead? I ordered these but went right back when I saw the hashgacha. Tysm
Any sweet nuts is fine. The hechsher of Chaf-K is noted both in the post and comments above.
The majority hold the “dairy eqiupment” is still pareve/no CY conflct (For Ashkenazim, they may not be eaten with meat;; for Sepharadim it is completely pareve), however some don’t use DE. Ask your own Rav.
Made it for yt! Was a hit. Great for a change!
What can be used instead of the milk?
thank you so much for this recipe! it was delicious!!
i spiced with black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, paprika, and salt, and used honey roasted peanuts, (cant use nuts cuz of allergies..) and it was delicious!!!!
