For my salmon loving friends...

I have been trying to incorporate some new, healthy recipes to me repertoire and have been striking out. That is, until I tried this wonderful salmon recipe. It is quick and easy and the salsa is amazing!!! I have made this a couple of times and have even altered the salsa a bit (based in what ingredients I had in the fridge) and it still turned out so yummy! Here's the recipe (from Fitness magazine)

Salmon with Blueberry-Mango Salsa
Makes: 4 servings Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes
1/3 cup blueberries


1/3 cup peeled, diced mango


2 tablespoons minced red onion


2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper


1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro


1 tablespoon fresh lime juice


1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper


2 teaspoons sugar or


1/4 teaspoon sea salt


1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil


4 4-ounce salmon fillets


Pinch each of sea salt and ground pepper
1. Combine blueberries, mango, onion, pepper, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, sugar or cane juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Lightly crush with a fork to release the juices. Set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and sear for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. (I like to Broil... rub w/ oil, squirt on the juice of 1 lemon and season with the salt and pepper and broil on high (varied time depending on thickness) but it cooks up really quickly
3. Serve fillets with salsa.
