  3. Mix smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. Rub over salmon.
  4. Whisk honey and apple cider vinegar, then brush over salmon.
  5. Roast salmon 12–15 minutes, until it flakes easily and glaze is glossy.

  7. Serve salmon topped with fresh mango salsa.

Notes

Grill salmon instead of baking for a smokier flavor.

Add pineapple to salsa for extra sweetness.

Adjust spice by keeping or removing jalapeño seeds.

Serve over coconut rice for a tropical twist.

Store salmon and salsa separately; salmon lasts 3 days, salsa best within 2 days.
