A quick and healthy recipe featuring juicy baked salmon paired with a bright, tropical mango avocado salsa. Perfect for a flavorful and satisfying meal in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place each fillet skin-side down on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  3. Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over each fillet, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper evenly. Optionally, add a pinch of smoked paprika.
  4. Wrap the salmon tightly in the foil and place on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon flakes easily but remains moist.
  6. While salmon bakes, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and honey in a medium bowl. Toss gently and season with salt to taste.
  7. Carefully unwrap the salmon and plate the fillets. Spoon a generous amount of salsa over each piece.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Prep salsa up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate to keep fresh. Let salmon rest a few minutes after baking for better texture. Avoid overcooking salmon to keep it moist. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. For a creamier salsa, add coconut yogurt. Substitute mango with pineapple or peach if out of season.
