Caribbean Salmon W/ Guava Barbecue Sauce and Mango Veggie Salsa image

I'm always looking for a new way to use guava paste, as I seem to always have a good lot of it around. This is a nice twist on the typical old salmon dish--in that it offers a slightly sweeter taste than I am used to. From Simply Delicioso.

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
8 ounces guava paste, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar (light or dark brown)
2 whole star anise
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 cup olive oil, plus
extra olive oil, for greasing the baking dish
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup lime juice, plus
2 limes, cut into wedges for serving (from about 2 limes)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 mangoes, peeled, fruit cut off seed and diced
1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded, and finely diced
1 green bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 large red onion, halved and finely chopped
1 serrano chili, finely chopped (optional)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (3 1/2-4 lb) whole side salmon

Steps:

  • For the barbecue sauce:.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, cooking until it's soft and a little brown around the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often.
  • Stir in the guava paste, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, star anise, allspice, and curry powder.
  • Simmer until the guava paste has melted, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
  • Discard the star anise; transfer the mixture to your blender and puree.
  • With the motor running add the lime juice and rum.
  • Transfer to a small bowl and set aside, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • For the salsa:.
  • Whisk the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Add the mangoes, peppers, red onions, chile, and cilantro and toss to coat.
  • Add the beans and gently toss everything together.
  • Heat your broiler to high.
  • Line a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with a double layer of aluminum foil and grease the foil with some olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon in the prepared baking dish and tuck about 2-inches of the tail end under the fish, so you have a somewhat uniform shape.
  • Pour the barbecue sauce over the salmon and cook it under the broiler until the sauce caramelizes and chars around the edges and the salmon is firm and flakes easily, 8 to 12 minutes for rare (the salmon will still be pink in the middle) or 12 to 15 minutes for well done (the salmon will be cooked throughout).
  • Spread the salsa on the serving platter and carefully lift the salmon out of the baking dish and arrange it on top of the salsa (use 2 large spatulas to transfer it).
  • Squeeze a few lime wedges over the fish and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler salmon recipe next time.

I'm not a fan of guava, so I used a different type of barbecue sauce. It was still very good.

I'm not usually a fan of fish, but this Caribbean salmon recipe changed my mind. The guava barbecue sauce was amazing and the mango veggie salsa added a refreshing touch.

The salmon was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior. The sauce and salsa were the perfect accompaniments, adding a burst of flavor in every bite.
