Blackened Salmon with Mango-Avocado Salsa
It is well-known that fish, especially salmon, is very healthy for us; but most people are afraid to prepare it at home. I came across this delicious salmon dish that even my husband compliments. This is a perfect entrée for entertaining guests or to simply have on a casual evening. The salmon is spiced perfectly, and the mango-avocado salsa adds a bright bite of freshness to the dish. I also like to make the salsa to put on other proteins like chicken, or serve it by itself as a great, nutritious party dip.
Ingredients
- 1½ to 2 pounds wild salmon fillets, boneless and skin on
- 1 tbsp. of olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1½ tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. oregano
- ½ tsp. cumin
- ½ tsp. chili powder
- ½ tsp. cracked pepper
- ¼ tsp. thyme
- ¼ tsp. cayenne
Mango Avocado Salsa
- 1 large ripe mango, seeded, peeled and diced
- 1 large avocado, seeded and diced
- ¼ cup diced grape tomatoes or 1 roma tomato, diced, seeds removed
- ¼ red onion, diced
- 1 tsp. fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp. sea salt
1. Slice the salmon evenly into 4 to 6 smaller fillets. You can also choose to prepare the salmon whole and slice after it’s been cooked.
2. Combine the oil and spices in one bowl and rub evenly over the salmon.
3. Preheat oven to 450oF and bake salmon until cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
4. While salmon is cooking, prepare all mango avocado salsa ingredients and combine in one bowl.
5. Serve salmon hot and spoon salsa over salmon.
