 | Directions | - Preheat oven to 425°F. Make Salsa: combine mango, papaya, onion, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro and mint in medium bowl. Gently toss to mix; set aside.
- Make Spice Blend: stir together paprika, salt, white pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, thyme and red pepper in small bowl. Spread 2 tablespoons of the Spice Blend on large plate. Store remaining Spice Blend in an airtight container for future use.
- Cook Salmon: place prepared fillets, flesh-side down, on plate with Spice Blend. Press fillets into mixture. Shake off excess mixture; set aside. Discard any remaining seasoning on plate.
- Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Turn on stove/kitchen vent. Heat skillet on high until hot. Add fillets, seasoned side down. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until seasoning has darkened and formed a crust. Turn fillets over and cook second side 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Place fillets in shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered 3 to 5 minutes or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve each fillet with salsa with salmon. Cover and refrigerate remaining salsa.

| Cook's Tips | - Salmon fillets, about 1/2-inch thick, can be cooked in the skillet until done; cook 2 to 2-1/2 minutes per side. Thicker fillets should be browned and then finished in oven as described above for best results.The Spice Blend makes enough to prepare this recipe 4 times. The blend also is great rubbed on other seafood, poultry and meat.To determine if the skillet is 'hot', sprinkle a few drops of water into the skillet. The water will sizzle and evaporate immediately when the skillet is hot enough to start cooking.
