Encountering interesting flavor profiles is incredibly satisfying. But even more satisfying is discovering that said culinary preparations are also beneficial for your health.

This is why we were thrilled to come across spice maven and Wild Alaskan member Janice Wheeler’s zesty secret spice salmon with mango salsa — which, thanks to the capsicum chili in her not-so-secret weapon, in addition to having high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is also very much a party on a plate.

Here’s the recipe:

Secret Spice Salmon with Mango Salsa

Ingredients

2 wild caught salmon fillets

1-2 teaspoons Secret Spice Remedy, to taste. Use the spice as a Rub, 30 minutes to two hours prior, and let salmon come to room temperature.

Bake, grill or pan-fry to desired doneness.

Mango Salsa

1 ripe mango, peeled, cored, chopped

1 green onion, chopped, white and green

Juice of one small lime

½ anaheim chile pepper or similar, seeds removed (for even more spice, substitute jalapeño, chopped fine)

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Toss ingredients, add extra chile if desired

Serve with salmon fillets.
