Prepare this healthy grilled salmon recipe featuring lean protein and omega-3s, topped with a fresh avocado salsa. This meal is simple to make on the grill, keeping your kitchen clean.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Clean the grates well.
  2. Brush the salmon fillets lightly with olive oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the salmon skin-side down on the hot, oiled grates. Close the grill lid.
  4. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on the skin side without moving the fish to prevent sticking.
  5. Gently flip the salmon using a thin spatula. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit and the fish flakes easily.
  6. While the salmon finishes cooking, prepare the salsa: In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
  7. Squeeze the lime juice over the salsa mixture and gently toss to combine.
  8. Remove the salmon from the grill. Serve immediately with a generous topping of the avocado salsa.

Notes

  • To prevent the skin from sticking, make sure your grill grates are very clean and well-oiled before placing the fish down.
  • For precise temperature management, use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fillet.
  • This recipe works well as a post holiday detox meal for resetting your diet.
