A quick and easy, flavorful recipe. Delicious blackened salmon topped with a fruity, flavorful juicy salsa made with fresh mango and black beans.

 4 small salmon fillets
 4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (use more or less to taste, or try it with chili powder instead!)
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 1 mango
 1 small red bell pepper
 1 14-oz can black beans , drained and rinsed
 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves , chopped
 2 scallions , chopped
 Juice of 1/2 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
  1/4 teaspoons salt (or more to taste)
  Freshly ground black pepper , to taste
For the salmon:
1

Season each salmon fillet with about 1 teaspoon Cajun spice. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, and cook the salmon over high heat about 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your liking.

For the relish:
2

Peel and dice the mango into small pieces (about 1/4 - 1/3 inch). Remove the seeds and the pith from the red bell pepper and dice the bell pepper into small pieces about the same size as the mango.

3

In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, bell pepper, black beans, cilantro leaves, scallions, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix well and let sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fuse together
