Salmon with Avocado Salsa


I have been trying to incorporate more fish into our diet and this Salmon recipe was awesome. My kids devoured it (one of them even had the one leftover piece for breakfast the next morning!) 
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 tbs olive oil (I used light extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • For the Avocado salsa:
  • 2 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, sliced
  • Juice from 2 limes
  • 1-2 tbs finely chopped cilantro (depending on how big of a cilantro lover you are)
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
  1. Mix the salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion and black pepper together, rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and this seasoning mix. (I was worried it would be too much seasoning but it isn't.) 
  2. refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. Check a little before that. Salmon is done when it flakes with a fork. You can also grill the salmon for about 5 minutes per side. 
  4. Combine the avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl and mix well, chill until ready to use.
  5. Top with avocado salsa and enjoy!
