How to Make Baked Salmon With Mango Salsa

  1. **Make the Mango Salsa:** Combine 1 ripe mango, diced; 1/2 red onion, finely chopped; 1/4 cup chopped cilantro; 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional); and the juice of 1 lime in a small bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  2. **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. **Prepare Salmon:** Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. **Season Salmon:** Season each salmon fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. **Add Sesame Seeds:** Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over each salmon fillet.
  6. **Bake Salmon:** Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. **Serve:** Serve the baked salmon immediately with a generous spoonful of the chilled mango salsa.
