Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes
1 1/2 lbs salmon filet cut into 4 pieces, skin and bones removed
1 large fresh ripe tomato, seeds and excess pulp removed, diced
small pieces, about 1/4 inch
3 Tbsp finely minced onion
3 medium cloves garlic, pressed
1-2 Tbsp minced jalapeno pepper, or to taste
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 TBS coarsely chopped pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2+1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

1. To Quick-Broil preheat broiler on high and place an all stainless steel skillet (be sure the handle is also stainless steel) or cast iron pan under the heat for about 10 minutes to get it very hot. The pan should be 5 to 7 inches from the heat source.
2. Rub salmon with 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. (You can Quick Broil with the skin on; it just takes a minute or two longer. The skin will peel right off after cooking.)
3. Using a hot pad, pull pan away from heat and place salmon on hot pan, skin side down. Return to broiler. Keep in mind that it is cooking rapidly on both sides so it will be done very quickly, usually in 7 minutes depending on thickness (10 minutes for every inch of thickness). Test with a fork for doneness. It will flake easily when it is cooked. Salmon is best when it is still pink inside.

--> Salsa
1. Combine all salsa ingredients.
2. Spoon over salmon.
3. Garnish with mint and a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with Calabacitas (Recipe Below) and Rice

Healthy Cooking Tips:
The ingredients of the salsa blend together better if you chop them fine. Also, it is best to add just a little jalapeno at a time, so you can get it to your personal preference of chili heat, without making it too hot.
