Ingredients:

1.50 lb salmon
680g
1.50 lb asparagus
680g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/2 avocado
100g
2 tomatoes
260g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Toss the asparagus with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
2. Grill the Salmon:
- Brush the salmon fillets with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the salmon on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the salmon is charred on the outside and opaque in the middle. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the salmon fillets.
3. Grill the Asparagus:
- While the salmon is cooking, place the asparagus on the grill.
- Grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
4. Prepare the Avocado Salsa:
- Scoop the flesh out of the avocado half and dice it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado and diced tomatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently mix together.
5. Serve:
- Once the salmon and asparagus are done, remove them from the grill.
- Plate the grilled salmon and asparagus, and top the salmon with a generous spoonful of the avocado salsa.
6. Optional Garnish:
- If desired, sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice over the top for extra flavor.

Tips:

- Make sure the grill is preheated to medium-high heat before adding the salmon for an even cook.

- Brush the salmon with olive oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill.

- For extra flavor, season the salmon with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice before grilling.

- When choosing an avocado, opt for one that is slightly soft to the touch for the best texture in the salsa.

- Cut the tomatoes and avocado into consistent, small pieces to ensure even distribution in the salsa.

- Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes after grilling to let the juices redistribute for a more flavorful bite.

Chargrilled salmon with avocado salsa is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. This recipe is straightforward and worth trying for anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful and healthy meal. The combination of grilled salmon, fresh tomatoes, creamy avocado, and crispy asparagus creates a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
