Ingredients
Base

• 2 salmon fillets (4–6 oz each), skin on
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Avocado Salsa

• 1 ripe avocado, diced

Instructions

1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush this marinade over both sides of the salmon fillets.
3. Grill salmon skin-side down for 4–5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and grill for an additional 3–4 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat.
4. While salmon cooks, combine avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Toss gently to combine.
5. Serve grilled salmon topped generously with avocado salsa.

Enjoy warm as a nourishing dinner or a protein-packed lunch.
