This recipe for grilled salmon with avocado salsa is so easy to make and a guaranteed crowd
(and family) pleaser. The fish is seasoned with coriander, cumin, paprika, onion powder and
pepper, and topped with avocado salsa. Summer seems to finally be here, which means
spending a lot of time outside: in the water, playing in the backyard with the kids, grilling
outside and having lunch or dinner on the patio. Of course there is also a sort of nice lainess
associated with summer, you want meals to be easy and !uick to prepare, but also refreshing
and filling.

This grilled salmon is seasoned with a homemade seasoning mi" of
ground coriander, cumin, paprika and onion powder to give it a nice
spicy flavor. #t$s grilled perfectly and then topped with a salsa made
with avocado, onion, mild hot peppers, cilantro, lime %uice, and olive
oil. Salmon and avocado are one of those perfect matches& whoever
was the first person to put these two together was a genius. The
salmon and the avocado both have that creaminess melt in your
mouth feeling, while the lime, onion, hot pepper and cilantro add a
great contrast of tangy flavor.


#$ve probably said this before but if # had to go to a deserted island and could only choose a
few food items to take with me, avocados would be one of them (#$m hoping # could learn
how to catch some fish on my island). They$re also one of those items ' along with cilantro
and limes ' that whenever # run out of them it means that # need to go grocery shopping. #$ve
prepared this dish before with grilled ahi tuna and it was also a great match ' pretty much any
fish (halibut, snapper, cod, mahi mahi, corvina, etc) will work great with the avocado salsa.
(or an easy summer dinner, you can season the fish in the morning and let it marinate all day
or season it while the grills warms up. The avocado salsa can be made in about ) minutes, and
can also be made ahead of time. # usually serve this grilled salmon with rice, either plain
*atin+,cuadorian style cooked rice
-./
or lime cilantro rice, and some patacones+tostones
-0/
or
thick green plantain chips.
