Make this mango salsa salmon for a quick and easy dinner tonight. Ready in under 10 minutes, this gluten free, grain free, paleo, Whole30 approved mango salsa salmon is the perfect way to enjoy a healthy and delicious dinner, even on a busy weeknight!
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.

Salmon is our go to for late nights home from work. I never thought about putting mango salsa on it. I’ll be trying yours next time I prepare my favorite fish!

I have a link to a good tutorial on how to cut a mango on my Avocado Mango Salsa recipe. I don’t want to leave the link here because I’ve heard leaving links in comments is frowned upon by Google, but you can find it on my blog if you still need a tutorial. Or email me and I will dig it up for you. 🙂 It makes things a lot easier…I had the same issue! And this looks so delicious! I love any kind of mango salsa and on top of fish it is wonderful!

I love mango especially in salsa [with jalapenos] but I don’t love cutting them up. It’s almost impossible to get cubes.
Happy Friday Sam!

This looks like the perfect summer meal!

Mango salsa is seriously my favorite summer food! I’m the same way tho with not being able to cut them. Everytime I try, it always just ends up in a big mush and thrown into a smoothie haha

I love fruit salsas and fish. I usually do something like this with Mahi mahi, but this is a great switch up!
