Step 1
Pat the 2 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until the skin is crispy and the fish is opaque, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
While the salmon cooks, peel and dice the 1 large mango into cubes. Thinly slice the 0.5 red onion. Zest and juice the 1 lime into a small bowl.
Step 4
Whisk the lime juice and zest with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl to make the dressing. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups mixed greens with the diced mango and sliced red onion. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.
Step 6
Flake the cooked salmon into large chunks and place on top of the salad. Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges if desired.
Step 7
Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds or fresh herbs like cilantro or mint if you have them.
