Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 Kirby cucumbers, finely diced
1 cup finely diced fresh pineapple (about of a whole pineapple)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed), minced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
coarse salt and ground pepper
4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each), patted dry

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil; add cucumbers, pineapple, scallions, jalapeno, and basil. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently to combine.
  • Generously season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high; add salmon, skin side down. Cook until skin is crispy and salmon is opaque about 3/4 of the way through, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn salmon over, and continue to cook just until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve salmon topped with salsa.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think next time I'll try using a different type of fish, like tilapia or cod.

I'm not a big fan of cucumber, but I really enjoyed the salsa in this recipe. It was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The salmon was also cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra chili powder and cumin to the salsa and it was much better. The salmon was cooked perfectly though.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! He said the salmon was cooked perfectly and the salsa was very flavorful. I'll try making it again with less jalapeño next time.
