Untitled design(166)What You’ll Need
For the Pan-Seared Salmon:
1 tbsp avocado oil
4 6-ounce Sixty South Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon Fillets
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

For the Peach Basil Salsa:
2 medium peaches, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 seeded and de-veined jalapeño, chopped (may omit to reduce spice)
1/4 cup fresh basil, cut into long, thin strips
Juice from half lime
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

What To Do
Preheat oil in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.*

Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cook the salmon, skin side up for 4-5 minutes without moving. Carefully flip the fillets and cook skin side down for another 5 minutes, until salmon flakes to fork.

While salmon is cooking, prepare Peach Basil Salsa. Toss together peaches, onion, jalapeño, basil, juice from half a lime, plus salt and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.

When salmon is cooked through and flaky, transfer to a large platter and spoon Peach Basil Salsa on top. Serve warm.

*Alternatively, to grill salmon, preheat grill and lightly oil grill grates. When grill is hot, place salmon on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until salmon is flaky to fork.
