  2. To prepare the salsa, peel and chop the mango. Add the chopped red onion, jalapeno pepper, ¼ cup cilantro, cumin and juice of one lime. Combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Cut salmon fillets into desired sizes. Salt and pepper the non-skin side Heat frying pan on med-high heat with 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil. Cook salmon fillets, skin side down first.
