About this recipe
Salmon with mango sauce, snow peas and carrots Thermomix TM7 is a fresh, tropical-inspired fish recipe that brings restaurant-quality flavours to your table in one all-in-one kitchen machine. Juicy salmon fillets are gently steamed until flaky, while crisp snow peas and tender carrots cook above them, soaking up the aromatic steam. Meanwhile, the TM7 blends ripe mango with cayenne pepper, salt and a hint of ground nutmeg into a glossy, sweet-spicy sauce that is gently heated to the ideal consistency. Searching for a quick weeknight dinner that still feels special? This recipe delivers exactly that: vibrant colours, a silky sauce and perfectly cooked fish without the fuss of multiple pans. The natural sweetness of mango contrasts beautifully with the mild heat of cayenne, while nutmeg adds subtle warmth. It is an elegant main course for guests, yet simple enough for any evening when you want something light, healthy and full of flavour.
Preparation tips
- Choose a ripe but firm mango for the sauce: too soft and it becomes watery, too firm and it stays fibrous. Taste the blended sauce before serving and adjust the cayenne gradually, as its heat intensifies slightly during gentle heating.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry before steaming and place them skinless side up so they stay intact. Cut the carrots into thin, even batons so they finish cooking at the same moment as the snow peas, keeping their bite and bright colour.
- Serve the salmon on warm plates with the mango sauce spooned alongside rather than over the fish, so the vegetables keep their crunch. A squeeze of lime and a few coriander leaves make a fresh finishing touch for this tropical combination.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free and gluten-free as standard: simply check that your seasoning blends contain no hidden gluten, and serve the salmon with plain rice or quinoa instead of bread for a fully gluten-free dinner that keeps the mango sauce silky.
- Festive variation: replace the salmon with thick cod or sea bass fillets and add a splash of coconut milk to the mango sauce, then garnish with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion for an Asian-inspired celebration plate.
