Description
A delightful dish that combines rich flavors and vibrant colors, featuring perfectly cooked salmon and refreshing peach salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ripe peaches, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently and set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets over. Add the minced garlic and unsalted butter to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the salmon as it cooks for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Plate the salmon fillets and top each with a generous spoonful of peach salsa. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For a dairy-free option, use olive oil instead of butter.
- Experiment with different fruits in the salsa, such as mango or pineapple.
