Ingredients
Salmon and Seasoning
- 4 salmon filets
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Mango Salsa
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 diced red bell pepper
- 1 seeded and diced jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika. Stir well to make the seasoning mix.
- Make the Mango Salsa: In a large bowl, add the diced mango, ¼ cup diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, seeded and diced jalapeño, 2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Set aside to let flavors meld.
- Season the Salmon: Brush each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon lime juice. Then, rub the seasoning mix evenly over all sides of the salmon filets to coat thoroughly.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the seasoned salmon filets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes without moving them, then gently flip and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the cooked salmon from the skillet. Spoon the prepared mango salsa generously over the top of each salmon filet. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe mango for the best flavor and texture in the salsa.
- Adjust the jalapeño quantity to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder salsa.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the salmon filets.
- For a crispier skin, cook the salmon on medium heat and avoid flipping too often.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or leafy greens for a complete meal.
