Tame spicy baked salmon with a sweet pineapple–bell pepper salsa. Want to ramp up the heat even more? Leave the seeds in the jalapeño.

For the salsa:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the blackening seasoning: the paprika, garlic granules, thyme, cayenne, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning onto all sides of the salmon.
Step 3
Coat a baking sheet with the coconut oil spray, then place the seasoned salmon on the sheet and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the salmon is firm but not dry.
Step 4
While the salmon is baking, prepare the salsa. Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl and let the flavors meld at room temperature until the salmon is ready. Top the cooked salmon with half the salsa, and reserve the other half in the fridge.

Back to TopThis was a fun and simple recipe. The combination of seasonings did not create an overpowering blackened flavor and it went really well with the salmon. The salsa was the star of the dish. Very simple, very fresh, and a lot of fun.

This is an excellent recipe, almost - it needs a few tweaks. First, the salsa is all chunk and not much juice. Next time I will blend some pineapple and sweet onion into a puree and then mix it with the rest of the ingredients. I will as others noted keep the seeds in the jalapeno next time, and I'll add in a handful of cilantro. In the picture it looks like there is some kind of herb. The fish had a great crust, but that left the rest of the fish kind of blah. Next time I will marinate the fish in perhaps some type of teriyaki or something else that goes with the rub. With those added changes this is a keeper.

I didn't have jalapenos nor juice of a lime so I used Thai chilli peppers and lemon juice. Came out wonderful. Will make again.

I made the recipe as written. It needed more salt, and next time I'll leave the seeds in the jalapeno. The rub had good flavor but no heat. There was just the right tension between the sweet, sour and spicy flavors of the salsa. Really bright. I'd use that salsa over any fish. Super easy, and you can do all the prep ahead of time. 15 minutes on the salmon was perfect.

Substituted basil for thyme as I didn't have any and only cooked for 15 mins and it was done perfectly. I personally, found it too mild. Next time I will add more spice to kick it up a couple of notches. The salsa was wonderful and we ate it all. Definitely going in the family meal rotation.

This was decent. I see it’s supposed to be healthy which is probably why there’s no mention of salt for the fish. However, the fish needs salt. The pineapple salsa is awesome.
