Ingredients
Salmon
- 4 (6 oz.) salmon skinless fillets
- 1 Tbsp olive oil plus more for brushing grill
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp cumin ground
Avocado Chimichurri
- 1 small avocado diced small
- 1/4 cup parsley finely minced, fresh
- 2 Tbsp cilantro finely minced; fresh
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 2 Tbsp red onion minced
- 3 Tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a gas grill to 425 degrees. Brush both sides of salmon with the 1 Tbsp olive oil. Season both sides of salmon with salt, pepper and the cumin.
- Brush grill grates with oil, place salmon on grill and grill about 3 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Serve salmon immediately topped with avocado chimichurri.
- For the chimichurri:
- In a small mixing bowl toss together all chimichurri ingredients while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- *You can replace the 2 Tbsp water with 2 more Tbsp evoo if desired. I made this twice and liked that the water version wasn't so heavy. I just felt there was already enough fat and richness from the avocado and salmon that it didn't need more oil. Normally I would not add water to chimichurri.
