Ingredients
  

Mango and Peach Salsa

  • ¾ cup mango (cut into small dice, from 1 Ataulfo mango)
  • ¾ cup peach (cut into small dice, from 1 medium peach)
  • ¼ cup jalapeno (finely diced)
  • ¼ cup red onion (finely diced)
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice (be sure to zest the lime for the salmon spice rub before juicing)
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt

Salmon

  • 1 pound salmon filets
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon allspice (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ginger (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (ground)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salsa

  • Cut the mango and the peach in a uniform small dice.
  • Finely dice the jalapeno and red onion. Add to a medium bowl along with the mango and peach.
  • Chop the cilantro leaves and stems and add them to the bowl along with the lime juice and salt. Stir to combine and allow the salsa to rest while you prepare the salmon.

Season and Pan Sear the Salmon

  • Combine lime zest, smoked paprika, allspice, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir everything together.
  • Pat the salmon filets dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Rub the spice rub into each filet, coating the entire surface of the non-skin side.
  • Preheat a skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and make sure the oil is shimmering before placing the filets in the pan, seasoned side down.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your salmon filet. Move the salmon to a plate and scoop the salsa over the top. Serve immediately.
