Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 4 salmon fillets and marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade, discard marinade, and brush the grill grates with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Grill salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  4. Step 4: While salmon grills, combine 1 diced ripe avocado, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 thinly sliced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a medium bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  5. Step 5: Serve grilled salmon topped with the avocado-tomato salad immediately.
