Easy Mango Salsa Salmon | The Recipe Critic

How to Make Mango Salsa Salmon

There’s just something magical about seafood paired with fruit salsa. I based this off my 5-minute mango salsa recipe, and pairing it with salmon takes things to a whole new level.

1. Mix the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Make the Salsa: In a large bowl, add the diced ripe mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, fresh lime juice, fresh chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
3. Prep Salmon to Cook: Brush the salmon filets with the lime juice and rub with the seasoning mixture.
4. Pan Sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the prepared salmon to the skillet skin side down. Cook for 5 minutes, then gently flip it over and cook for another 5 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit and it flakes easily with a fork. Remove the cooked salmon from the skillet, then top it with the mango salsa and serve over rice.
