Salmon with Mango Yogurt Sauce

Salmon marinated in mango yogurt with ginger, jalapeños and lime for a delicious sweet & spicy, easy weeknight meal

Something I cannot get enough of right now is an easy meal.

There's nothing better than knowing you can cook a dish that will taste great and make you feel nourished in less time than it takes to wait for delivery.

And that even includes the time it takes to marinate. I want quick. I want it easy.

One of my go-to meals for making me feel great is salmon.

Salmon has omega 3 fatty acids which make you shine from the inside out. Ok, not really. But they are beneficial for your heart, skin, hair, and brain.

If you are skeptical about trying salmon because of a previous unpleasant experience, let's ease back into salmon because you really are missing out.

I suggest you start with this Salmon with Mango Yogurt Sauce. It has so much flavor that there is absolutely no hint of fishiness to it! None!

Mango yogurt and ginger make such lovely partners when flavoring this salmon, especially with the cilantro, lime, and jalapeño.

Another great thing about this recipe is that you can make it year-round. No need to wait for mangos to be in season.

Thanks to mango yogurt, you get the mango flavor without having to find mangos or spend an absurd amount of money on one fruit.

Yogurt becomes best friends with the flavors in this marinade (that also doubles as a sauce -- yay for saving time!).

The salmon has the lovely mango ginger flavor plus it is roasted on top of a bed of onions. So you get the slight sweetness from the onions to contrast the spicy jalapeño, too.

Another great thing about this recipe is that there are only 10 simple ingredients: mango yogurt, salmon, ginger, garlic, lime, jalapeño, cilantro, onions, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Ok, so that's 11. But do salt and pepper count?!

To serve this salmon, I like to turn it into a bowl with some cooked quinoa, black beans, and baby spinach. It's the perfect easy dinner, and leftovers are tasty for lunch! Plus, it can be served hot or cold.

Simple ingredients + delicious meal = everyone wins.
