INGREDIENTS NOTES:

SALMON:

We have to choose wild-caught salmon when feasible since it often has more omega-3 fatty acid content and has strong flavor than farmed salmon. We sue the skin-on fillets of salmon during the grilling to make the fish flavorful and moist.

OLIVE OIL:

We have to use the olive oil for searing the fish to make it more flavorful and loaded with the healthy fats.

SEASONING:

We add the smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to season the fish and to give the smoky taste.

LEMON JUICE:

We have to use the fresh lemon juice in this dish to balance the flavor and add the tangy twist.

AVOCADO:

We have to pick ripe yet firm avocados to keep your salsa chunky without being mushy. We don’t have to use the over ripe avocadoes to avoid the watery salsa.

TOMATOES:

We have to use firm, fresh tomatoes and red onions and it is added to give the salsa crunch and color contrast.

JALAPENO:

We also add the jalapenos in the salsa and remove the seeds if you want to make less spicy.

CILANTRO:

We use the cilantro to garnish the avocado salsa to brighten the color.

LIME JUICE

We use the lime juice as it helps in keeping avocados from browning, and improving the overall freshness of salsa.
