SALMON WITH AVOCADO SALSA (LOW-CARB, PALEO, WHOLE30, HEALTHY)

Cooking salmon for dinner is always convenient because it cooks super fast and makes a healthy dinner in minutes. One of the biggest mistakes people make when cooking salmon is over-cooking it. Salmon is very delicate and can easily over-cook.  The trick to making perfectly cooked salmon is to season it well and cook it on medium-high just until almost cooked through. It will continue to cook after it is removed from the heat.

Salmon with Avocado Salsa (Low-Carb, Paleo, Whole30, Healthy) For this recipe, the salmon is coated with a chili, garlic, cilantro and olive oil rub. It can then be grilled, baked or pan seared just until the outside is nice and crispy (I cooked my salmon in a pan on the stove-top). You can use skin on or off depending on your preference. To make this a complete dish, the salmon is topped with a flavor-packed avocado and tomato salsa. The salsa comes together in minutes and makes a great addition to the salmon. Serve the salmon and avocado with rice, on salad greens or alone like I did!
