1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup 2% milk
1/2 tsp lime zest
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
7 Tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 15 ounce can no salt added black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 medium tomato (seeded and diced)
1/4 small onion (diced)
2 Tbsp cilantro leaves (coarsely chopped)
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 lime (juiced)
1 Tbsp olive oil
spray olive oil
2 4 ounce salmon filets

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 375°F.

Place the olive oil in small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the paprika and ground cumin and cook, stirring frequently. Let the olive oil bubble just a bit but do not overheat or the spices will burn. After cooking for about 5 minutes remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

While the paprika is cooling add the lime zest, milk and pepper to the mayonnaise. Stir well and add the cooled paprika and oil mixture. Stir well until well blended and place in the refrigerator.

Combine the black beans, tomato, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil. Mix well and place in the refrigerator.

Both the mayonnaise and the salsa can be made a day in advance.

When the oven is hot spray the pan lightly with olive oil and place the salmon in the skillet skin side down. Cook for about 8 minutes and turn.

While the salmon is cooking place the salsa divided between two plates.

Cook for 2 - 4 minutes and then place the filets on top of the salsa. Top with about 1 Tbsp. of the mayonnaise and serve.
