Ingredients
- For the salmon: Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless), olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, lime juice (optional)
- For the avocado salsa: Ripe avocados (diced), cherry tomatoes (halved or diced), red onion (finely chopped), jalapeño (minced, optional), cilantro (chopped), lime juice, salt, pepper
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and brush with olive oil. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat (or preheat a grill). Cook the salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and flaky.
- While the salmon cooks, mix the diced avocado, tomatoes, onion, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Plate the salmon and top each fillet with a generous spoonful of avocado salsa. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- Use mango or pineapple instead of tomatoes for a tropical variation.
- For more crunch, add diced cucumber to the salsa.
- Blacken the salmon with Cajun seasoning for extra spice.
- Make salsa just before serving to keep avocado fresh.
- Serve with rice, quinoa, grilled vegetables, or salad.
