Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole (zest and juice) lime
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup (finely diced) pineapple
• 1 cup (finely diced) mango
• 0.5 cup (finely diced) red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup (finely minced) red onion
• 1 small (seeds removed, finely minced) jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (for salsa)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, ground cumin, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 5

While the salmon is baking, prepare the fresh fruit salsa. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced mango, diced red bell pepper, minced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Toss gently to combine.

Step 6

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Plate each salmon fillet and generously spoon the fresh fruit salsa over the top.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy a flavorful, healthy meal!
