Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup (diced) Pineapple
- 0.5 cup (diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion
- 1 small (seeded and minced) Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add the lime juice and honey, then mix well. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the skillet.
Step 4
Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until the skin is crispy and easily releases from the pan. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute or two.
Step 6
To serve, place each salmon fillet on a plate and top generously with the fresh pineapple salsa.
Step 7
Enjoy immediately!
