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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking oil.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then drizzle with lemon juice.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over the salmon fillets.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lime juice or salt based on preferences.

Step 8

To serve, place a salmon fillet on a plate and generously spoon the mango salsa over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
