Rinse the salmon fillet and pat it dry, then let it sit in the fridge to dry out the skin.

Prepare the mango salsa by slicing the mango, scoring it, and dicing it into pieces.

Chop fresh pineapple into fine dice and add it to the bowl.

Dice red bell pepper into fine pieces and add it to the bowl.

Carefully chop the jalapeño into small diced pieces and add it to the bowl.

Add chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl.

Squeeze fresh lime juice into the mixture.

Mince red onion and add it to the bowl last to avoid crying while cutting.

Season the salsa with a little salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a splash of olive oil.

Mix all the salsa ingredients together and refrigerate while preparing the salmon.

Prepare a spice rub using chili powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and white pepper.

Score the skin of the salmon fillet about half an inch apart to prevent it from shrinking during cooking.

Sprinkle salt into the scored cuts of the salmon.

Rub the spice mix onto the salmon fillet and drizzle with grapeseed oil.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grease it with grapeseed oil.

Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and let it cook without moving it for 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip the salmon when it is cooked about two-thirds of the way up, cooking for another 3 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees.

Look for white fluid around the sides of the salmon as an indicator of doneness.

Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest on a plate.

Serve the salmon topped with mango salsa.
