So I have a confession to make. I have never in my life had any luck peeling or slicing a mango. Please tell me I’m not alone! But even if you are like me and cannot figure out how to cut and peel a mango, you can still enjoy this mango salsa salmon recipe!

How to make salmon in under 10 minutes?

Cooking fresh salmon in under 10 minutes is possible using the method I describe in this 7 minute salmon post! Essentially you start the salmon on the stove in a hot pan and then place the salmon under the broiler to finish. This method leaves you with crispy skin and it’s ready so quickly! Just be sure you have a pan that can go in the oven (stainless steel or cast iron is best).

If you buy frozen salmon, be sure to defrost it before trying to make this 7 minute salmon recipe. 

TIP: If you forget to defrost the salmon and it’s individually portioned, you can quickly defrost salmon by placing in on a baking sheet on your counter. I’m not sure exactly why this works but the metal pan helps the fish defrost in like 20 minutes. Just be sure to flip it at least one time.
