How to Make Salmon With Avocado Salsa

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the avocado salsa: Combine diced avocado (1 ripe), finely chopped red onion (1/4 cup), diced tomatoes (1/2 cup), chopped cilantro (1/4 cup), lime juice (2 tablespoons), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gently mix until combined.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets (2, 6-ounce) dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt (1/2 teaspoon) and pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
  4. Heat olive oil (1 tablespoon) in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear the salmon fillets, skin-side down first, for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Serve the baked salmon immediately topped with the vibrant avocado salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
