Salmon Filets With Avocado And Lime
- 2 Salmon Filets*
- 2 Limes
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- 1 Bunch Chives
- 3 TBSP Olive Oil
- Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper
- *This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. It is not really necessary to exactly double the oil though. And if necessary, a single bunch of chives can be stretched when the recipe is doubled without losing much flavor. Scallions can be substituted for the chives - but be sure to mince them very finely. Finally, salmon steaks can be used in place of filets - just be careful with the bones.
- Get enough salmon steaks or filets for the number of people you're serving. Squeeze lime juice over the salmon and salt very lightly. Let sit for about a half hour.
- Get half as many avocados as you have salmon filets. Dice. For every avocado add about one tablespoon olive oil and one teaspoon lime juice. My family likes it a little heavier on the lime juice - so experiment. It's not a super strong lime flavor. It's kind of amazing how the avocado and salmon meld with lime. Add a good amount of snipped chives. Lightly salt and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir and let rest while the salmon cooks.
- Coat salmon with olive oil. Broil, BBQ or pan-grill the salmon. Top each piece of salmon with the avocado-lime-chive mixture.
