Prep Time: 25 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 Vital Choice wild salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- Organic Vital Choice extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 pound fresh or frozen (thawed) mango chunks or peaches, diced
- 4 kiwi fruit, peeled and diced
- 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped coarse or 1 tablespoon dried cilantro
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon organic ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon organic fennel seed
- 1/4 teaspoon organic garlic granules
- 1/4 teaspoon organic cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Make salsa: Combine fruit, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl; set aside.
- Rinse and pat thawed Alaskan salmon dry. Measure salt, cumin, fennel, garlic and cayenne into a small bowl; mix in lime juice and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or ridged stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. While pan heats, brush half of the spice mixture onto one side of the salmon portions.
- Place salmon in heated skillet, seasoned side down. Cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes until well grill marked. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.
- Brush tops of salmon with remaining spice mixture and carefully turn salmon over. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
- Serve hot with fruit salsa.
