Grilled Salmon with Fresh Tomato and Avocado Salsa

What I like about this Grilled Salmon with Fresh Tomato and Avocado Salsa recipe is that it’ s very simple, yet full of flavor. The tomato and avocado salsa add wonderful flavor to the dish and are subtle enough not to overpower the salmon. Although I love the flavor of the grilled foods, if you don’t have a grill, don’t worry, you can just throw the salmon under the broiler for about 10 minutes.

Grilled Salmon with Fresh Tomato and Avocado Salsa is the perfect summer meal, at least in my opinion. I make this dish very often at home so I thought I’d share this recipe with you! You probably have almost all of these ingredients in your fridge right now, so why not whip this one up tonight? It only takes a few minutes!

Buen provecho!

Carefully turn the salmon, cover and grill an additional 4 minutes, more or less, depending on your taste. When the fish is cooked to your liking, remove from the grill and top with the avocado salsa.
