Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 –Line an 18×26-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil, coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray, and fold up the edges to create a pouch to keep the liquids from spilling over during baking.
Step 3 –Add the salmon to the middle of the prepared baking sheet, inside the pouch.
Step 4 –In a medium bowl, add the paprika, the chili powder, the cayenne powder, the garlic powder, the salt, and the black pepper and whisk to combine.

Step 6 –Place the salmon, skin-side down, on a cutting board and evenly sprinkle with the dry rub mixture.
Step 7 –Evenly pour the butter mixture over the top of the seasoned salmon.
Step 8 –Let the salmon rest and come to room temperature before baking, about 15 minutes.
Step 9 –Bake the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 10 –Change the oven to the broil setting and broil until the top of the salmon is browned, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 11 –Transfer the broiled salmon from the oven to a wire rack and let it rest, about 5 minutes.
Step 12 –In a large bowl, add the mangoes, the red bell pepper, the tomato, the cilantro, the jalapeƱo, the salt, the black pepper, and the lime juice and stir to combine.
