How to make Mango Salsa

This Mango Avocado Salsa has a great combination of sweetness (from mango), spiciness (from jalapeno), and creaminess (from avocado). It is so refreshing during spring and summertime and can be served with salmon, other types of fish, or just by itself with some tortillas. Perfect for a crowd!

All you need is to chop the ingredients (Mango, avocado, red bell pepper, jalapeno, red onion, and cilantro) add some olive oil and lime juice, and mix it all up.

Feel free to play around with the flavors. For the summertime, you can add some strawberries and mint. Cucumbers and tomatoes will also work well.

How to cook perfect pan seared salmon

Rinse and pat dry salmon fillets, then season with salt and pepper and squeeze lime juice over.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil.

NOTE: If you don’t follow a diet, I like to mix up 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. It will give you more flavor.

Place the fish skin down and cover with a lid. Depending on the fillet size, cook for about 5-6 minutes, then flip it on another side and cook for another 5 minutes or until the salmon gets a beautiful golden/brown crisp.

You can serve it in a bowl with cauliflower rice or just salmon with Mango Salsa by itself.
