Mexican Glazed Salmon With Mango Salsa

My big confession is that my husband and I don’t eat salmon. 😱
We basically love every other type of fish, but salmon isn’t up our alley. In saying that, I know heaps of my beautiful community LOVE salmon, so I decided to pop together a recipe that is quick, easy and delicious.
You can also make this with chicken if you’re not a fan of salmon.

  • For the spice rub: Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl. Feel free to add a little more olive oil if you need it. Rub the spice mix all over the salmon pieces. Set aside.
  • For the mango salsa: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and gently toss. Taste and add more lime or salt, depending on your preference.
