Instructions

For the salmon: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon, spice side down, and cook for 4-6 minutes per side or until done.
For the salsa: Place the avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro and lime juice in a bowl. Gently toss to combine and season with salt.
Spoon the salsa over the salmon and serve.

Notes

Instead of salmon, you can cook this pan seared recipe with tilapia, catfish, mahi mahi, or cod.
Serve this salmon with a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce instead of the salsa if you prefer.
Be sure to use an avocado that is soft rather than hard.
Any kind of tomatoes will work in this recipe–cherry, grape, heirloom, Roma, etc.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three days.
The avocado salsa is best is made right before serving the salmon.
