Salmon seasoned with a simple rub, topped with fruit salsa served on a bed of zoodles. It doesn’t get any easier or healthier than this.

 

Salmon w/Fruit Salsa

 

For this recipe I used two pieces of Sizzlefish‘s coho salmon. They’re beautiful, huh? Coho is slowly becoming my favorite type of salmon. Why? Because it cooks damn near perfect every time and you can use a lot of seasoning or none at all. This time I used my go-to rub for the salmon. This is the same run that was used in my Salmon w/Avocado Salsa recipe. It’s pretty fool-proof in my opinion. The salmon can be baked or grilled. I pan-grilled it using my Calphalon grill-pan. I’ve had this pan for almost 5 years now and I love it. I only used 1/2 lb of salmon so I cut the measurements in half. Please note the rub ingredients below is good for 1.5-2 lbs of salmon.

Spice Rub
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt

 

Salmon w/Fruit Salsa

 

I initially intended on serving  just the salmon over the zoodles but it felt like something was missing. It didn’t take me long to figure out what. I have a frig full of fresh fruit thanks to Sprout’s double ad Wednesdays.  Fruit salsa! Duh.

 

Salmon w/Fruit Salsa

Fruit salsa is so easy to make. Grab your favorite fruit and dice it up. I used strawberries, blueberries and peaches. Outside of that, you just need a few more ingredients. I like to use red onion but when I don’t have that, I grab whatever onion I can get my hands on. Below is a generic recipe. I suggest you taste this while you’re making it to get the acidity (lime) and saltiness (salt) to your liking.

Fruit Salsa
1/4 cup fresh fruit, diced
2-3 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/4 onion, diced
Pinch of salt
Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix well.

    To feed the family, I doubled the salsa and added about a 1/3 of a jalapeno with a little bit of the seeds. It was fun! Good combination with an avocado, rice and some mixed greens on the side!
