Ingredients

FOR THE SALMON:

  • 2 6 oz Salmon Fillets, skin on
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder or you can substitute standard chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 yellow mango diced
  • ½ avocado diced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh jalapeño finely diced
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons fresh cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

  • IN A SMALL BOWL, combine chili powder, salt and garlic powder. Add honey, lime juice and oil to seasonings and whisk together until smooth.
  • PLACE SALMON FILETS in a plastic bag and pour marinade over the fillets. Seal the bag tightly and knead marinade over fillets so that they are evenly coated. Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, but no more than 60 minutes.

  • PLACE THE MARINATED SALMON FILLETS skin side down on your prepared baking sheet. Cook at 425˚ for12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly for 2-4 minutes.
  • PLATE THE SALMON and top with half of the salsa over each fillet and serve warm.
