Ingredients
  

  • 2 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ripe mango diced
  • ½ red onion finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice blackened crust.
