A few weeks ago I wanted to make a special dinner for my fiance and I to enjoy while watching the sunset and knew that I couldn’t go wrong with a salmon recipe. (I’m a Pacific Northwest girl after all!) After spending entirely too much time browsing various salmon recipes on Pinterest I settled on one made by The Cookie Rookie that combined two of our all time favorite foods, salmon and avocado. I had a winner!
The finished product – grilled salmon garnished in avocado salsa, roasted potatoes and watermelon…a perfect summer meal!
The Cookie Rookie had modified the original recipe slightly to fit her purposes and I did the same. I left out the cumin from the salmon rub and the red onion from the avocado salsa because one of us in my household is not a big onion fan! The end result was a delicious and truly EASY meal. You could definitely fool guests into thinking that you slaved away over this for hours. This received rave reviews and will made many more times in the future.
