Salmon with Avocado Salsa

May 9, 2019 by Amber 6 Comments

Salmon with Avocado Salsa is a seasoned salmon fillet baked to perfection with a spicy avocado salsa on top made of red onion, serrano, tomatoes and lime juice. 

Weeknight dinners can easily get monotonous. Especially if you are feeding children too. This Salmon with Avocado Salsa is far from boring but can still be on the table quickly and easy. 

Salmon with Avocado Salsa

Salmon with Avocado Salsa may just be one of my favorite salmon recipes! The salmon is super spicy with a smokey note while the avocado salsa cools but also adds another level of heat with the serrano pepper. You may also enjoy this recipe for Air Fryer Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze with less spice but full flavor! 

Tips & Tricks

Salmon

Look for a fresh, wild caught salmon. Also, pay attention to the smell, texture and color to pick the freshest, best tasting fish. 

  • Smell. Salmon should smell fresh. If you smell something “fishy”, move on to another. 
  • Texture. The skin should be shiny and the meat should look plump and firm. There shouldn’t be any wrinkles or look dried out. 
  • Color. Depending on the type of salmon you are looking, color can vary from red to yellowish. Typically a vibrant colored fish is best because the color resembles the diet of the fish.

Bring the Heat (or not)

This recipe has a little more heat than a typical family dinner so you may need to adjust accordingly. My family enjoys this recipe just as is but to calm down the heat, there are two things you can do. 

  1. Salmon Rub. Cut down on the Adobo seasoning blend and cumin by half. 
  2. Avocado Salsa. Remove the seeds before dicing the serrano pepper and cut back to only half a pepper.

    We eat salmon once a week, but I’m starting to get bored with my usual seasoning. This would be a tasty way to spice things up! And, it sounds like that is a literal statement with this recipe. 😉
