For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the salmon instead of pan-searing. Grilling will impart a smoky char that complements the sweetness of the mango. If you can't find red bell pepper and ancho chili pepper jam, you can substitute it with a mix of sweet chili sauce and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Adjust the amount of pepper jam according to your spice preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. Ensure the mango is ripe but firm for the best texture in the relish.
