Grilled Salmon with Strawberry Avocado Salsa

Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.

Ingredients:

For the marinade:
Juice and zest of 1/2 orange
Juice of 1 lime
Salt
Pepper
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
Small handful of cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil (plus extra for oiling grill grates)
4 salmon filets (~6 oz each)

For the salsa:
1/2 pint of strawberries, hulled and diced

1 large avocado, diced
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 jalapeno, seeded (or not) and diced
Small handful of cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1/2 orange
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Heat your grill to medium-high and oil your grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients and then transfer to a shallow dish. Place the fish skin-side up in the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes. (If you’re using a skinless fish flip after 5 minutes if using chicken, try to let it marinate for as long as possible.)

Transfer the fish to the grill, skin-side down and cook for ~10-12 minutes, until the thickest part of the fish is opaque. While the fish is cooking, stir together the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl. Serve the fish, seasoned with additional salt & pepper, topped with a generous scoop of salsa.

Yields: 4 servings
