Salmon with Spicy Cucumber-Pineapple Salsa image

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
2 Kirby cucumbers, finely diced
1 cup finely diced fresh pineapple (from about 1/4 pineapple)
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 jalapeño chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), minced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)

Steps:

In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil; add cucumbers, pineapple, scallions, jalapeño, and basil. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently to combine.
Pat dry salmon; generously season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high; add salmon, skin side down. Cook until skin is crisp and salmon is opaque about three-quarters of the way through, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn salmon, and continue to cook just until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve salmon topped with salsa.
