Ingredients
Ingredients
▢4 wild salmon filets, 6 oz each
▢1/4 tsp kosher salt
▢black pepper
▢cooking spray
For the avocado bruschetta: (makes 2 1/4 cups)
▢1/4 cup chopped red onion
▢1 tbsp extra virgin oil
▢1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
▢kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
▢2 medium vine ripe tomatoes
▢2 small cloves garlic, minced
▢2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
▢4 ounces diced avocado, from 1 small
Directions
- Combine onion, olive oil, balsamic, 1/4 tsp kosher salt and pepper. Set aside a 5 minutes.
- Chop tomatoes and place in a large bowl. Combine with garlic, basil, onion-balsamic combo and additional 1/8 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and let it sit at least 10 minutes.
- Preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Oil the grates generously to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Season salmon with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
- Place skin-side-down on the grill. Close the lid and cook without turning for 8 to 10 minutes (depending on thickness), or until the salmon is just cooked through. The skin will char but will prevent the fish from drying out.
- Remove and cover with foil; rest for 2 to 3 minutes while adding the avocado to the bruschetta.
- Serve topped each with generous 1/2 cup avocado bruschetta.
