Grilled Salmon Avocado
Salmon is a great dietary staple rich in quality amino acids, essential fatty acids, and protein. Many people don't regularly stock up on salmon at the supermarket though because: (a) it's expensive (and I'm not going to argue there); or (b) they aren't sure how to prepare it, beyond the run-of-the-mill lemon pepper variety.
The next time you're in need of a delicious salmon recipe, give this Grilled Salmon and Avocado Salsa a go. I'm rating it a 4 on the RE Cheat-o-Meter scale because, while all the ingredients are healthy, this dish has enough "extras" that you only want to swap it in once or twice a week. Bon appetit, mes amis!
