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.

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan. Place the salmon, skin side down, into the pan. Fry for about 3–4 minutes each side (depending on how you like it cooked). Remove and keep the yummy juices in the pan.
