Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon, skin side up, in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
- While the salmon is cooking, prepare the avocado salsa.
- In a small bowl, mix together the avocado, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir gently until combined.
- Spoon the avocado salsa over the salmon fillets and serve immediately.
Notes
- I prefer to use fresh salmon fillets in this recipe, but frozen, thawed fillets will also work.
- Diced tomatoes can be substituted for the red bell pepper.
