Swimmingly Delicious

This is one of the best recipes for salmon I have ever encountered in my cooking adventures and I highly recommend it. The salmon turns out beautifully flaky and moist. The salsa adds a wonderful crisp, freshness! Great served on its own, with tortilla chips, over some mashed potatoes or on top of some salad greens. The possibilities are endless. Makes for a lovely summer meal...delicious and nutritious!

Grilled Blackened Salmon with Pineapple Mango Salsa

(Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking.net)

Blackened Seasoning:

•    2 teaspoons ground paprika

•    2 teaspoons dried leaf thyme  

•    2 teaspoons onion powder

•    2 teaspoons garlic powder

•    1 tablespoon granulated sugar

•    2 teaspoons salt

•    2 teaspoons black pepper

•    1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to your taste

•    1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano

•    3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

•    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine all ingredients together and mix thoroughly. 

Top the salmon with a bit of olive oil then spread a nice coating of the blackened seasoning over the top 
of the salmon.

Pineapple - Mango Salsa:

•    1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

•    1/2 small fresh pineapple, diced

•    2 tbsp minced red onion

•    1 jalapeño, seeded and diced

•    1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

•    Juice of 1 lime

Chop all the ingredients and place in a bowl, add the lime juice and combine gently until well mixed.

Place the salmon, skin side down, directly on the grill or on top of 

tin foil (for easier clean up). If you are cooking directly on the grill, turn every 2-3 minutes to prevent the skin from sticking. If you cook on tin foil, don't bother turning it and cook for 5-7 minutes or until you place a fork in the fish and twist, if it's flaky then remove from grill. Top with the pineapple mango salsa and enjoy.
