For the mango salsa, stir together the mango, bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate until serving time.

Mix the paprika, oregano, thyme, cayenne, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and sugar and press the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the salmon to adhere.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and ever-so carefully set the salmon into the hot oil. Cover and fry a few minutes on each side, until cooked the way you like it. Serve with the chilled salsa.
