Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole (zest and juice) lime
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup (finely diced) pineapple
- 1 cup (finely diced) mango
- 0.5 cup (finely diced) red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely minced) red onion
- 1 small (seeds removed, finely minced) jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (for salsa)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, ground cumin, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the fresh fruit salsa. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced mango, diced red bell pepper, minced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Toss gently to combine.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Plate each salmon fillet and generously spoon the fresh fruit salsa over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy a flavorful, healthy meal!
