Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each) in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While salmon marinates, mix 1 diced medium ripe avocado, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a small bowl. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade and discard marinade. Grill salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Serve salmon topped generously with avocado salsa for a fresh, zesty finish.
