How to Make Fresh Mango Salsa for Seafood and Sushi
Fresh Mango Salsa: The Perfect Topping for Seafood & Sushi
There’s a reason you’ll find mango salsa on the plates of top seafood restaurants: it elevates nearly every kind of fish.
Sweet, tangy, and herbaceous, mango salsa adds a tropical brightness that balances the richness of seafood without overpowering its natural flavor. Whether it’s grilled salmon, sushi rolls, pan-seared scallops, or king crab, this simple topping can make your dish feel instantly elevated.
And the best part? You can make it in under 10 minutes.
🥭 What Makes Mango Salsa Perfect for Seafood?
Seafood — especially rich varieties like king salmon or Dungeness crab — benefits from contrast:
-
Sweet mango balances savory seafood
-
Lime juice adds brightness
-
Red onion & cilantro bring aromatic depth
