Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 4 dinner-sized salmon fillets

  • salt, for seasoning

  • black pepper, for seasoning

  • 1-2 tablespoons oil, for frying

  • 3/4 cup distilled vinegar

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 3/4 cup water

  • juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 1 teaspoon Haddar Kosher Salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon pickling spice

  • 1 teaspoon ground fresh ginger or 1 cube Dorot Gardens Frozen Ginger

  • 2 firm mangos

  • 2 red peppers, diced

  • 2 cups cucumbers, diced

Directions

Prepare Salsa

1.

In a small pot, bring the vinegar, sugar, water, lemon juice, salt, and spices to a boil. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and spices are fragrant, about five minutes. Let cool another five minutes.

2.

Meanwhile, place the mango, veggies, and ground ginger into a glass jar and mix well.

3.

Pour warm brine over them and let cool completely.  Cover and refrigerate for two days.

Notes:

Use within 10 days.

Prepare Salmon

1.

Season salmon fillets lightly with salt and pepper.

2.

Preheat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high flame, and add oil. When the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets, flesh-side down, and sear until golden brown and crisp, about three minutes.

3.

Turn fillets over and sear skin-side down until salmon is just cooked through, about three minutes. (You may need to cook it a few minutes more over low heat if you want it well done.) Remove salmon from pan.

4.

Let cool for a few minutes and serve with salsa.
