How to Make Savory Summer Salmon And Refreshing Relish Recipe

  1. **Prepare the Relish:**
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, green onions, bell pepper, cucumber, cilantro, orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and sugar.
  3. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. **Prepare the Salmon:**
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Evenly coat the tops of the salmon fillets with the spice mixture.
  8. Refrigerate the seasoned salmon for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to infuse.
  9. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Add the canola oil to the hot skillet.
  11. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  12. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes for medium, or 6-8 minutes for medium-well. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
  13. Once cooked, remove from the oven and spoon the chilled relish generously over each salmon fillet.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
