Easy BBQ Salmon with Avocado Salsa is a healthy, flavorful dish featuring smoky grilled salmon topped with a refreshing salsa made from avocado, tomatoes, lime, and herbs. It’s quick, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: 1 small jalapeño, finely diced

Instructions

  1. Brush both sides of salmon fillets with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Grill salmon skin-side down for 4–6 minutes per side, until cooked through and flaking easily. Remove from grill and let rest.
  4. While salmon cooks, prepare avocado salsa: combine diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and optional jalapeño in a bowl.
  5. Gently toss the salsa to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  6. Spoon avocado salsa over grilled salmon and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use skin-on salmon for easier grilling and better flavor.
  • Make salsa just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Add more lime juice or salt to taste.
  • Serve with rice, greens, or roasted vegetables for a full meal.
