Ingredients
  • 1 lb wild salmon (center cut)
  • 1 tsp good quality olive oil
For the Stone Fruit Salsa:
  • 1 peach, pitted and chopped
  • 1 plum, pitted and chopped
  • ½ jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • ½ medium avocado, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp red onion, minced
  • juice of 1 medium lime
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 1 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • kosher salt to taste
Instructions
  1. For the stone fruit salsa, add all ingredients to a medium bowl. Gently mix, folding over with a spoon. Season with kosher salt to taste. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a large ovenproof grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub olive oil over the fleshy side of the salmon and season with kosher salt. Make sure pan is nice and hot, place salmon skin side up in pan. Sear for 3-5 minutes until there is a golden crust on the salmon. Remove from heat and flip salmon over to skin side down, cook for an additional 3 minutes. Transfer salmon to the oven for approx 3-5 minutes, monitering closely as you do not want to overcook. Remove from oven, cut into desired portions, sliding the skin off of the salmon with a spatula before serving. Plate the salmon, spoon stone fruit salsa over the top of the salmon and serve immediately.
