Ingredients

2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)

1 tablespoon Honey

2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

2 Kirby cucumbers, finely diced

1 cup Finely diced fresh pineapple (about of a whole pineapple)

2 Scallions, thinly sliced

1 Jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed), minced

1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped

Coarse salt and ground pepper

4 Skin-on salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each), patted dry

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil; add cucumbers, pineapple, scallions, jalapeno, and basil. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently to combine.

Generously season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high; add salmon, skin side down. Cook until skin is crispy and salmon is opaque about 3/4 of the way through, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn salmon over, and continue to cook just until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve salmon topped with salsa.
