Ingredients

  • 2 filets salmon fillets
  • 1 large mango
  • ½ medium red onion
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 whole lime
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 2 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until the skin is crispy and the fish is opaque, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    While the salmon cooks, peel and dice the 1 large mango into cubes. Thinly slice the 0.5 red onion. Zest and juice the 1 lime into a small bowl.

  4. 4

    Whisk the lime juice and zest with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl to make the dressing. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups mixed greens with the diced mango and sliced red onion. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.

  6. 6

    Flake the cooked salmon into large chunks and place on top of the salad. Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges if desired.

  7. 7

    Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds or fresh herbs like cilantro or mint if you have them.
