Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 2 Salmon fillets (140–200 g / 5–7 oz each)
  • 1 tsp Olive oil (for brushing the pan)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Onion powder

Tomato Salsa

  • 2 medium Tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 tbsp White vinegar
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Avocado

  • 1 Avocado

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon fillets evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides to ensure full flavor.
  2. Prepare the grill pan: Brush a non-stick grill pan lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
  3. Start grilling salmon skin-side down: Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the medium/high heat grill pan. Cooking skin side down first helps keep the delicate flesh intact and makes flipping easier.
  4. Cook salmon: Grill for 4-5 minutes on the first side until the fillet is mostly cooked through, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Adjust timing based on thickness to avoid overcooking and drying out the fish.
  5. Make tomato salsa: While the salmon is cooking, dice the tomatoes and chop the cilantro finely.
  6. Mix salsa dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, white vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until combined, then fold in the diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro.
  7. Prepare avocado: Peel the avocado and slice it thinly or into desired shapes.
  8. Assemble and serve: Once the salmon is cooked, plate the fillets, top each with sliced avocado, then spoon the tomato salsa over the avocado and arrange some around the salmon for a fresh, flavorful presentation.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning according to taste preference.
  • Be cautious not to overcook the salmon; cooked salmon should flake easily but remain moist.
  • Use fresh, ripe avocado for best flavor and texture.
  • Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
  • This recipe can be paired with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
