We made this chopped salad with pico de gallo in mind. Tangy tomatillos add fresh crunch to the classic mixture of tomatoes, cilantro and onion to brighten up this broiled salmon recipe.

Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
½ teaspoon ground cumin
8 ounces tomatillos, husked, rinsed and chopped (see Tip)
1 medium tomato, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup chopped red onion
1 medium jalapeño pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high.
Place salmon on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cumin. Broil the salmon until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 9 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine tomatillos, tomato, cilantro, onion, jalapeño and lime juice with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Serve the salmon with the salad.

Tips

Tip: Although you'll want to remove the husk (and rinse off the sticky coating) before eating, look for firm tomatillos with an intact husk that's tight to the fruit.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
