As we head into summer, one of our favorite recipes from the cookbook is the refreshing and flavorful Roasted Salmon with Mango Salsa — a perfect warm-weather meal that’s both eye-healthy and easy to make.
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may help support retinal health and reduce dry eye symptoms, while mango brings a bright burst of vitamin C and antioxidants to the dish. Together, it’s a healthy and colorful recipe that tastes like summer on a plate!

- 4 wild Alaskan salmon fillets (frozen or fresh)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

Step 1 – Prepare salmon
Line a cooking sheet with aluminum foil. Place fish fillets on the cooking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on each fillet. Place in oven for 5-10 minutes, or until brown on the top and cooked throughout.
Step 2 – While salmon is cooking, prepare salsa
Mix together gently the cantaloupe, green onion, red pepper and cilantro. Season with a little salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime zest and lime juice. Pour dressing over salsa and mix to combine.

When salmon is ready, place one fillet on each plate and spoon one quarter of the salsa on top. Serve with a green salad and brown or white rice.
