Salmon with Avocado Mango Salsa

Ingredients:

 for the Avocado Mango Salsa
half a large avocado, peeled and diced
1/3 cup peeled, diced mangoes
2 tablespoons minced red onions
2 tablespoons minced tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers
¼ teaspoon sea salt
for the Salmon
½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
four 4-ounce salmon fillets
pinch sea salt
pinch freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Combine the avocado (or blueberries), mangoes, onions, tomatoes (or bell peppers), cilantro, lime juice, jalapenos, salt (and sugar, if using) in a medium bowl. Lightly crush with a fork to release the juices. Set aside. [Wear gloves when handling hot chile peppers, or wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes, nose or mouth.]

Heat olive oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.

Serve each salmon fillet with ¼ cup Avocado Mango Salsa.
