Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa

Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa

 

This Salmon with Avocado Salsa recipe is a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition—exactly the kind of simple, effective meal I stand behind. You’re getting high-quality protein and omega-3s from the salmon, which support hormone balance, brain health, and fat loss (yes, eating the right fats helps you lose fat). The avocado adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber, while the fresh lime, tomatoes, and cilantro bring antioxidants and a burst of flavor without any junk. It’s clean, satisfying, and takes the guesswork out of “what’s for dinner.” This is the kind of meal that fuels your body and gets results—no fluff, just facts.

 

Ingredients: Makes 2 Servings

For the Salmon:

  • 2 - 6oz Salmon Filets

  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil

  • 1 Clove Garlic, minced

  • ½ tsp. Chili Powder

  • ½ tsp. Cumin

  • ½ tsp. Onion Powder

  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper

  • ¼ tsp. Salt

 

For the Avocado Salsa

  • 1 ripe Avocado

  • ½ cup Tomatoes, diced 

  • 2 tbsp. Onion, diced

  • 2 tbsp. Cilantro, chopped

  • 1 tbsp. Lime Juice

  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil

  • Salt & Pepper to taste

 

Directions

  • Stir the olive oil, garlic, and spices in a small bowl. Brush or rub the salmon with the spice mixture. 

  • Heat a large heavy-duty pan or grill on medium-high heat. Add the salmon to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes per side. 

  • While cooking, add the avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive and salt & pepper to a bowl and mix.

  • Remove the salmon from the pan and top with avocado salsa. 

 

NOTE:

I like to serve this over a bed of cauliflower rice when I’m in the mood for an added carb, or mixed greens for a lighter option. Just remember to weigh & calculate the macros & add to the nutrition below.
