Directions
Mango Veggie Salsa
Whisk olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
Add mangoes, peppers, red onions, chile, and cilantro.
Toss to coat.
Add beans and gently toss.
Guava Barbecue Sauce
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat for 1 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and add onion, cook until soft and a little brown.
Stir in guava paste, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, star anise, allspice, and curry powder.
Simmer until guava paste has melted, about 15 minutes, stir occasionally.
Turn off heat and let sauce cool slightly.
Discard star anise.
Transfer mixture to blender and puree.
With blender running, add lime juice and rum.
Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Salmon
Heat broiler to high.
Line a large baking dish, or rimmed baking sheet, with a double layer of aluminum foil.
Lightly cover foil with olive oil.
Place salmon on the baking dish and tuck about 2 inches of the tail under the fish, to create a uniform shape.
Pour barbecue sauce over the salmon and cook under broiler until sauce caramelizes and chars around the edges, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily.
8 to 12 minutes for rare, 12 to 15 minutes for well done.
Final Steps
Spread the salsa on a serving platter.
Carefully lift salmon off the baking dish and arrange it on top of the salsa.
Squeeze a few lime wedges over the salmon and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.
