- Juice of 1 lime
- extra virgin olive oil to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, cumin, thyme, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Brush the spice mixture on both sides of the salmon filets. (or only on top if it's with the skin on)

- Serve the baked salmon with the mango-avocado salsa spooned over it. Serve over cooked quinoa, rice or with your favorite side dish.
Notes
- If you are not a fan of mango, you can easily use stone fruits like peaches or nectarines.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning for the best texture. If the salmon is too wet it can become mushy when it is cooked.
- If your salmon has skin, leave it on—it will help keep the fish moist and flavorful during cooking
- Depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets, cooking times can vary. It is done when it is an opaque pink and flakes easily with a fork.
- Avoid overcooking the salmon by keeping an eye on the time and using a meat thermometer.
- Because the mango salsa contains avocado, it's best not to make it more than a day in advance as it will start to brown.
