Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium (peeled, pitted, and diced) ripe mangoes
- 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) red onion
- 1 small (seeded and minced) jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for salsa)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then drizzle with lemon juice.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over the salmon fillets.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the mango salsa. Combine diced mangoes, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a medium-sized bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and salt for the salsa. Pour the dressing over the mango mixture and toss gently to combine.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lime juice or salt based on preferences.
To serve, place a salmon fillet on a plate and generously spoon the mango salsa over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
