Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium mango, diced
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the fillets are mostly cooked through.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
To prepare the mango cucumber salsa, combine the diced mango, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro in a medium mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lime juice and honey over the salsa mixture. Add chili flakes if using, and mix well to combine.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice or salt if needed.
Plate the salmon fillets and top with a generous spoonful of mango cucumber salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Pan Fried Salmon with Mango Cucumber Salsa!
