Ingredients
Smoky Broiled Salmon
- 1 pound sockeye salmon fillet preferably skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil to 3 (quantity unclear
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder optional, or cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Peach-Avocado Salsa:
- 1 peach pitted and diced, ripe
- 1 avocado peeled and diced, ripe
- 1 jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced, large
- 1/3 cup red onion finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons lime juice to taste, fresh
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- Pinch salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
Prepare the Peach-Avocado Salsa:
- Toss together all of the ingredients for the peach-avocado salsa. Taste for flavor and add more lime juice and/or sea salt to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare the Smoky Broiled Salmon:
- Place the oven on the high broil setting and move one of the racks to the top rung.
- In a small bowl, combine all of the seasonings and sea salt and stir well. Place salmon fillet in a casserole dish or on a baking sheet. Drizzle the salmon fillet with olive oil and use your hands to spread it over the full surface of the flesh. Sprinkle the seasoning over the fish. (Note: if you have the time and forethought, marinate the salmon in the dry rub and oil for 1 to 4 hours).
- Place salmon under the broiler on the top shelf and broil until golden-brown and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes (note: fillets that are thicker than 1 inch may require more time), or until fish has reached desired doneness. For a rare center, cook 6 to 8 minutes.
- Serve salmon with peach-avocado salsa and choice of side dishes.
