Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- While the salmon is cooking, place the asparagus on the grill.
- Grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
