Pan Seared Salmon With Mango/Avocado Salsa

I was going to use a recipe I like from Amy Myers' The Autoimmune Solution.   Couldn't find it, so am trying a modified recipe from Nom Nom Paleo http://nomnompaleo.com/post/56076300574/mango-avocado-salsa-on-pan-seared-salmon

INGREDIENTS
For the salsa:
2 cups diced ripe mango (about 2) or mixture of mango and fresh blueberries
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
1 cup diced Hass avocado (1 medium)
1/2 cup minced cucumber
1/2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper and salt
Juice from 1 lime

For the salmon:
1-1/2 pounds salmon filets
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp soy-free Earth Balance buttery spread
Freshly ground pepper and salt

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
For the salsa:  Mix together all ingredients.  

For the salmon: Cut filets into 4 pieces and rub off any scales.  Heat oil and buttery spread in cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.  Place filets into skillet skin side down.  Season with salt and pepper.  Press down on filets with flexible spatula to keep from curling.  Cook about 6 minutes, then quickly sear the other sides.

Serve salmon skin side up with salsa on top.
