Match it with fast fish fillets or with a burger for a fresh and refreshing change. Ingredients 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime) 1 tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 Kirby cucumbers, finely diced 1 cup finely diced fresh pineapple (about of a whole pineapple) 2 scallions, thinly sliced 1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed), minced ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped coarse salt and ground pepper 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each), patted dry Directions In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil; add cucumbers, pineapple, scallions, jalapeno, and basil. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently to combine. Generously season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high; add salmon, skin side down. Cook until skin is crispy and salmon is opaque about 3/4 of the way through, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn salmon over, and continue to cook just until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve salmon topped with salsa. Rate it Print
