  • 1 cup of avocado chunks

  • Make the Avocado Salsa by combining all ingredients into a bowl and toss to coat in the lime juice

  • Add the salmon to the pan and cook until blackened, but not burnt, 3-4 minutes then turn and cook 2-3 minutes on other side. Cooking time depends on thickness of fillets.
