Salmon and Avocado Salsa

Salmon and Avocado Salsa

Wild-caught salmon is my fish of choice and this summer recipe ranks up there as my all-time favorite way to eat it.

The avocado salsa goes so well with a mulitude of different dishes – it’s even great when eaten by the spoonful, which I may or may not do 😉

But when paired with this flavorful spiced salmon, it’s a homerun!

Consider making the salsa the night before so the flavors can develop in the fridge and so that you can have a super easy weeknight meal.
