Ingredients

  • 1 cup jarred sliced peaches , drained and cubed
  • 1/2 cup red onion , chopped
  • 1 small tomato , chopped
  • 1 medium jalapeño , chopped
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro
  • juice of 1 lime , freshly squeezed
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Salmon

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 12 oz salmon fillets , cut in 2 pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice , freshly squeezed

Instructions

  • To make the peach salsa, in a medium bowl, mix peaches, onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan.
  • Season salmon with salt, pepper and lime juice. Add salmon to hot skillet. Cook for 5 minutes or until browned. Using a large slotted spatula, flip salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until salmon is opaque throughout but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve immediately. Top salmon with peach salsa. Add a side of cooked vegetables and potatoes, if desired.

Notes

  • Don't season the salmon until you are ready to cook it. The acidity in the lime juice can break down the flesh too much.
  • You can use salmon fillets with skin on or off. If skin on, cook them skin side down first.
  • Don't have your pan on too high a heat. If it's too hot, the outside will cook too quickly and the inside can remain raw.
  • These pan fried salmon fillets are great to serve with peach salsa, but they're also great with my Strawberry Salsa too!
