Smoky Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salad

  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  30 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 1 (1½ pound) skin-on salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges

Avocado Salad

  • 2 ears fresh corn, cooked
  • 2 slightly firm avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat.

  2. Transfer the salmon fillet to the center of a large piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Squeeze limes over the seasoned salmon and bring edges of foil together to wrap the salmon.

  3. Set foil-covered salmon directly on the grill. Close the lid and cook until the salmon easily flakes with a fork, about 12 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, make the avocado salad. Remove kernels from the corn cobs. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, avocado, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper, stir well and set aside.

  5. Once the salmon is done, divide it into 6 pieces, top with avocado salad and serve.
