Salmon with Mango Salsa

Heres a simple, delicious, and healthy meal that can be enjoyed all summer long and is very versatile! If you aren't a fan of salmon, this can also work with a white fish (like Halibut), chicken, or pork. 

Ingredients: 

1/4 of a red onion, minced

1 mango, diced

1/4 of an English cucumber, diced

1/4 tsp of cayenne or 1 jalapeno

1 lime, 1/2 for the salsa and 1/2 for the salmon

1/4 green pepper, diced

1 clove of garlic minced

1 tbsp of fresh cilantro, chopped

1 small tomato, diced

salt and pepper to taste

1 salmon fillet, bones removed

Directions: Cut all of the veggies and season the salsa to taste. Let the salsa sit for a couple of hours to marry the flavors and drain off any juice.  Put a generous amount of pepper and a little salt on each side of the salmon fillet and squeeze half of the lime over it. Let this marinate in the fridge for 2 hours. Now for this recipe I grilled the salmon, put doing it in the oven or on the stove top works perfectly fine. Let the pan/ grill heat and sear the skin for 3 to 4 minutes. Next flip it and cook it on the other side for 4 minutes. Flip it back on its skin and put the salsa over the salmon and slightly warm it for 3 minutes. Finally its ready to eat. This is perfect served over some rice or can be served with little warm flour tortillas to make delicious fajitas!
