Salmon with avocado and orange salsa |
|
|
The combination of orange and avocado goes well with a tasty fish like salmon. Be sure to use only ripe avocados. If you have to store a cut avocado in the fridge, leave the pit in the avocado so it doesn't brown as quickly.
- 1 1/2 lb salmon fillet
- pinch of salt and pepper
SALSA
- 2/3 cup finely diced orange
- 2/3 cup finely diced avocado
- 2 tsp orange juice concentrate
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

- In a small bowl, combine the orange, avocado, orange juice concentrate, red pepper, red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper and cilantro. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Preheat a barbecue to medium-high heat or lightly coat a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Cook the salmon for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until the fish just flakes when tested with a fork.
- Spoon the salsa over the salmon before serving.
