03 - Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared tray. Brush each fillet thoroughly with the prepared seasoning mixture.
04 - Bake salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
05 - While salmon cooks, gently combine mango, avocado, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
06 - Transfer salmon fillets to plates. Top each fillet with a generous portion of mango avocado salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
