Grilled salmon with avocado salsa and cilantro rice

Season salmon with your favorite seasonings (for this dish, I recommend salt, pepper, and lemon juice), then grill salmon to temperature of your choice. Serve with cilantro rice (recipe coming soon, but you can also just cook rice, add a little bit of butter, salt, and pepper, then mix in fresh chopped cilantro once the rice is almost finished cooking​). Top with the avocado salsa recipe below.

This delicious and simple summer staple is sure to find multiple uses on your table! 

The Best Avocado Salsa

Print Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 Avocados
• 3 Plum Tomatoes
• 1 Red Pepper
• Juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon (depending on how much citrus you like; I prefer juice of 3/4 lemon)
• 1 Small Red Onion
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Chilli Powder (you can use a bit more if you really like heat)
• 1/4 tsp Cumin
• 1/4 tsp Honey
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cut avocado into approximately 3/4 inch cubes or chunks. Place in a large mixing bowl.
2. Dice tomatoes, red pepper, and red onion, and add to the mixing bowl.
3. Finely chop cilantro, and add to the mixing bowl. Then add the chili powder, cumin, lemon, and honey.
4. Lightly stir the ingredients to mix. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir again.
5. If you plan to store the salsa, drizzle oil on top, but do not stir. Place plastic wrap on top of the salsa, and up the sides of the bowl, to form a seal. Allowing the salsa to sit for a few hours improves flavors, but is not essential. If you plan to use the salsa immediately, stir the oil into the mixture, and serve.
