Blackened Salmon w/Avocado Mango Salsa

314 shares
Jump to Recipe -

We’ve been out of town the past four nights, which of course meant eating out every meal. I know that might sound like a great break for some of you, but I’m a home body and I love cooking and eating at home. Especially when I’m dieting (W30)! We (my husband and I) had no problems sticking to our “eating” game plan while we were gone, but eating at home is so much simpler. Blackened Salmon w/Mango Avocado Salsa

Our first meal home was this Blackened Salmon w/Avocado Mango Salsa. I served it with a baked sweet potato, and salad. It was DELICIOUS! The blackening seasoning added so much flavor. And the pico de gallo Avocado Mango Salsa with its sweet & spicy freshness was the perfect flavor compliment to the fish.

I made up the quick and easy Avocado Mango Salsa late afternoon so the flavors could meld together. Then I mixed the seasoning blend and set it aside. When it was time for dinner, I seasoned the salmon filets liberally with the seasoning mix, then cooked them in a hot cast iron skillet.

It was fast and easy, a surprisingly easy recipe for a fancy looking meal.

Here’s the Mango Avocado Salsa recipe: I took a short cut and used a store bought fresh pico de gallo salsa (tomatoes, onion, jalepeno, and cilantro). I then diced one fresh ripe mango and one avocado. Both were small diced. I added 2-3 TBSP fresh chopped cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice (1 lime). Mix all together and let set for at least an hour before serving.

**Disclaimer, if you’re following any of my recipes that I note as Whole 30 compliant, please check your ingredient labels first as they can vary. BlackenedSalmonMangoAvocadoSalsa

Blackened Salmon w/Avocado Mango Salsa

Author Joy in Every Season

Ingredients

  • Blacken Seasoning:
  • 2 TBSP Paprika
  • 1 TBSP Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 TBSP Granulated Garlic Pwd
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 4-6 Fresh Salmon Filets
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • Mango Avocado Salsa Recipe:
  • I took a short cut and used a store bought fresh pico de gallo salsa tomatoes, onion, jalepeno, and cilantro. I then diced one fresh ripe mango and one avocado. Both were small diced. I added 2-3 TBSP fresh chopped cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice (1 lime). Mix all together and let set for at least an hour before serving.

Instructions

  • Mix all spices (first 9 ingredients) together in small bowl.
  • To cook salmon:
  • Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in med/hot cast iron skillet (or other large ovenproof skillet)
  • Liberally season both sides of salmon with spice mixture.
  • Place into hot pan. Cook on first side 5 minutes, then flip and cook on second side for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Depending on size of salmon filets, you may finish cooking for a few minutes stovetop, or place skillet into 350* oven and cook for another 5 minutes. Salmon is done when fish flakes easily with a fork. Average cook time is 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness.
  • Mango Avocado Salsa: Combine together 1cup fresh pico de gallo salsa (homemade or store bought), with 1 fresh mango (small diced), 1 avocado (small diced), 2-3 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro, and juice of 1 fresh lime. Allow to set for about an hour prior to serving.
  • **To serve: top salmon with a heaping spoonful of Mango Avocado Salsa.

    What a lovely sounding recipe, love all of the flavours you have got going on in the rub for this… Great to see something a little different I would usually go Asian, definitely inspired to try something new next time I can score some salmon 🙂

I walked into Trader Joe’s the other day (with my granddaughter), and she quickly spotted a sign about their milkshake contest! “We have to do this Nana!” How could I say no to her enthusiasm as she quickly chose her shake ingredients. 
You’ll have to head over to her page @gigibeanblog to see what flavor she decided on. 
🍑🥤🍦🍑🍦🥤🍑
I decided on a Peach Ginger Shake! The rules state that you must use only five ingredients that you purchased at TJ’s and post your recipe. 
🍑🍦🥤🍑🥤🍦🍑
Peach and Ginger Shake
* 1 pint Southern Peach Crisp ice cream
* 1 fresh peach (peeled, sliced, & frozen)
* 1/4 cup milk
* Whipped cream
* Ginger Snap cookies (crushed)
Place ice cream, frozen peach slices, & milk into blender and blend until smooth. Pour into your favorite milkshake glass, top with whipped cream, and crushed ginger snaps. Garnish with fresh peach slices and additional cookies! Enjoy!!

Nothing says summertime like backyard fun! Swimming, slip & slides, sprinklers, and a big glass of cold lemonade!! I hope you’re all enjoying your summer! What’s the weather like where you live? We’ve been traveling for the last week, and I have to admit, that although I love the heat and summer sunshine, I’m not used to humidity (we’ve been in FL, the gulf coast area, and TN). I’m usually the first to complain when our coastal CA fog rolls in, but I’m actually looking forward to cooler temps for a few days.

This simple Orzo Salad is the perfect side dish for anything you plan to grill! It’s also a delicious salad to bring to family gatherings or potlucks! And the best part is I use my favorite bottled balsamic dressing, so it’s both easy to make and delicious!

Back when our girls were younger, we used to host large backyard bbqs on the 4th of July. We’d easily host 100+ friends and family and everyone would enjoy swimming, basketball, trampoline, fireworks, and of course a lot of good food!! I always made my Baked Beans! Always! They may not be the prettiest dish, but they are delicious! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Do you have your Easter Menu set and your shopping done? It doesn’t matter if we host Easter dinner or brunch, you’ll likely find a large platter of grilled asparagus as one of the side dishes! This year it will be served alongside quiche, ham, fruit parfaits, deviled eggs, and cinnamon roll monkey bread for Easter brunch! Click on the link in my profile to see how I make my grilled asparagus.

Easter! Wow, I can’t believe it’s this Sunday! Do you have any Easter family traditions? Ours usually starts off with church, followed by an egg hunt and enjoying either brunch or an early dinner with family and friends. I’ll be hosting a small family brunch this year. I’m still finalizing my menu, but plan on including a delicious ham served with this Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze! You can find the recipe on my blog (follow the link in my profile).

Just three more days till Valentine’s Days! I love how this table turned out, with the black and red! I added more elements to it than I normally do, but I was in the mood for a fun bright table! I talked about adding layers to a tablescape in my blog post, if you want to head on over and read it. The link is in my profile.

Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) isn’t a new recipe. I was curious enough to look it up and read that it started in the Midwest in the early 60’s. 
I’ve snacked on it plenty of times, but had never made it until this week. A few colored M&Ms easily transforms it into a treat for any holiday or occasion!
