Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 large salmon fillet (about 2 pounds)
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 medium mangoes
2 teaspoons chopped jalapeno chili
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro


Directions

Spray pan with cooking spray. Cut salmon in 8 pieces. Drizzle with 1/4 cup lemon juice. Bake, uncovered at 400 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. Meanwhile, cut each mango lengthwise in half, sliding a sharp knife along the flat side of the seed on one side. Repeat on the other side, to get two large pieces plus the seed. Cut away any flesh from the seed. Make crisscross cuts 1/2 inch apart, in the flesh of each mango half. Don't cut through the peel. Turn each mango half inside out, and cut off mango pieces.

Caution: After chopping chili, wash your hands and utensils in soapy water, and don't rub your face or eyes. Mix mango, chili, cilantro and remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice. Serve over salmon. Serves 8.
