Cooking Instructions:
Begin by preparing the seasoning mix. In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, ancho chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and then generously coat them with the seasoning mix. Place the seasoned salmon in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350-375°F. Once the grill is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets on the grill.
Grill the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then gently flip the fillets and continue grilling for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the avocado salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine diced avocado, diced onion, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Avocado salsa is known for being smoother and zestier than traditional dips.
For added flavor, you can also include diced tomatoes and jalapenos.
Stir in olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to achieve a spoonable consistency.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill and serve immediately topped with the avocado salsa.
Extra Tips:
For the best results, make sure that the avocados are ripe and the cilantro is fresh to enhance the flavors of the salsa.
Chilling the salsa before serving allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
If you prefer a spicier salsa, consider adding diced jalapenos or experimenting with different types of chilies.
Enjoy your grilled salmon with various sides like grilled vegetables or quinoa for a well-rounded meal.
