Preparation
For the Salmon:
- In a food processor, combine the citrus juices, marmalade, onion and ginger.
- Puree until fairly smooth, add the cilantro leaves and salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste, pulse to combine.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (60 mL) for basting the fish while grilling.
- Pour the remaining marinade into a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold salmon in one layer.
- Place the salmon skin side up in the baking dish.
- Marinate salmon, covered and chilled, for 1-2 hours.
For the Mango Salsa:
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the diced mango, garlic, ginger, onion, basil and cilantro.
- Stir well to combine. Add the chili, lime juice, Oasis 100% Pure Orange Juice and olive oil, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Set aside, covered, while the fish marinates and cooks.
- Preheat gas grill to medium.
- Remove salmon from marinade and discard the marinade.
- Season salmon with salt and fresh ground black pepper and grill, skin side down, on an oiled rack for 5-7 minutes.
- Put lid on grill and grill salmon until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes more, basting with the reserved marinade. (Alternatively, salmon may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan with a lid over moderate heat.)
- Carefully transfer salmon with a metal spatula to a large serving platter, and serve with the mango salsa.
