Baked Salmon with Black Bean-Mango Relish

I made my hubby salmon for tomorrow's lunch, but his side dish...goodness...it's the bomb(dot)com!!! 

It's so simple. And my inspiration for this post. 

I always try to send my husband to work each day with nutritious dishes, while avoiding making the same thing over and over again.  I don't ever want him to get bored with the dishes I prepare for him. 

Unlike my past blog posts, I wouldn't file this as a budget-friendly meal. Each serving was just under $5, however still way better than any fast-food combo when comparing price, portion-size, and nutrition. 

Black Bean-Mango Relish

1 large mango, peeled & cubed

1/2 a cucumber, peeled & cubed

1/4 c diced red bell pepper

1 jalapeño, seeded and diced

1 clove of garlic, minced

3 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

2 Tbs coconut milk

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

1 can black beans, rinsed

Just cut up the ingredients, combine, and serve.

It's so delicious. Plus, it's healthy! 

Baked Salmon

I used 3 half-pound fillets. 

I drizzled them with olive oil and then seasoned with lemon pepper and salt. 

Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side down, and bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 min (depending on the thickness). 

This is a great dish to take for lunches because it tastes great cold. The relish is so light and fresh tasting. And my kids loved it!!! I'll definitely be making this again soon.
