Southwest Salmon with Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, skinned, and portioned into 6 servings
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups avocados, about 2 small, diced
  • 1 cup English cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups mango, about 1, diced
  • 2 tablespoons jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped or pickled jalapeno
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan with nonstick aluminum foil.
  2. Wash salmon with the lime juice, pat dry. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of salmon.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; sprinkle over both sides of salmon. Arrange salmon on the prepared broiler pan and place under preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Check for doneness, if the top of the salmon is browning nicely but the fish is not cooked through, turn the oven down to 450 F and cook for another 5 minutes. Salmon will be cooked when the center of the thickest part is opaque.
  4. Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients for the salsa. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
