Method

1️⃣ Make the Honey-Chipotle Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2️⃣ Prepare the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush the honey-chipotle glaze generously over each fillet.

3️⃣ Cook the Salmon

Oven Method: Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, then broil for 2 minutes for extra caramelization.
Stovetop Method: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and sear the salmon for about 4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through.

4️⃣ Make the Avocado Mango Salsa

While the salmon cooks, mix the diced mango, avocado, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and jalapeño (if using) in a bowl. Toss gently to combine.

5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy!

Plate the salmon, top with avocado mango salsa, and serve with lime wedges. Enjoy with rice or quinoa on the side!
