Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
To make the mango salsa, mix the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and diced jalapeño (if using) in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine.
To plate, place a seared salmon fillet on each plate. Spoon the avocado shrimp mixture on top of the salmon, and add a generous portion of mango salsa on the side or over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful dish.
