• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 small, seeded and minced jalapeño

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create the spice rub.

Place the salmon steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the black bean salsa by combining black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, fresh lime juice, jalapeño, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
