👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- MAKE THE SALSA: ---
2. 2In a mixing bowl, measure and add diced strawberries, mango, diced red onion, cilantro and diced jalapeño (if using).
3. 3Add in the honey, salt and lime juice. Toss to combine and set off to the side.
4. 4--- MAKE THE SALMON: ---
5. 5Preheat your oven to 400°F (or 200°C).
6. 6In a glass jar or bowl, add the orange and lime zest. Then add the juice of half the orange and all of the lime. Lastly, add the Baja seasoning, honey and avocado oil. Whisk to combine.
7. 7You can either brush this overtop of the salmon filets if in a time crunch or add the salmon to a large re-sealable bag or dish and pour this over top to marinate for a few hours (nothing more than 2 hours in my opinion).Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with avocado oil spray or another nonstick spray. Place the salmon, skin side down and sprinkle the top with a little more Baja seasoning.
8. 8Slide the pan onto the middle rack of your preheated oven and cook for 10 minutes or until cooked and flakes easily. Using oven mitts, remove the salmon and move the oven rack to the highest position. Switch your oven to broil, slide the pan underneath the heating element and broil for 2 minutes or until golden in spots. Watch carefully to avoid burning..
9. 9Serve the broiled citrus salmon with rice or couscous, drizzled with a little yum yum sauce before topping with the strawberry mango salsa. I also served it with a cilantro lime slaw that added delicious crunch.
