To prepare the salsa, whisk lime juice and honey in a

Add mango, cucumber, onion and jalapeño, and stir

both sides of salmon fillets with spray. Sprinkle the
spice mixture evenly over both sides.
Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the fillets until the outsides are just lightly
browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Then lower the heat to
medium and cook until the salmon is a pale pink
throughout, 2-3 minutes per side.
Season with more salt, cayenne and black pepper to
taste, if desired. Transfer each fillet to a plate. Top
each with half of the salsa. Makes 8 servings.
