Our bird feeders appear to be working! We have several hummingbirds coming to hang out at our feeder, and our other bird feeder was emptied just in the course of the day yesterday! Feeding the birds is expensive!
As long as Sammy is still the king of the castle, he does not care at all …
I’ve really been getting into fish more and more, and trying to have some sort of fish once a week. I am finding there are many different kinds of fish that I do like! This salmon dish really was so simple and easy to put together. Since we grilled the salmon, it didn’t heat up the house at all!
Grilled Salmon with Tomato Avocado Salsa
Print this recipe!
Adapted from SparkRecipes
Salmon:
1 lb salmon
salt/pepper
Tomato and Avocado Salsa:
2 roma tomatoes, diced
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red onion, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, minced
1/2 avocado, diced
1/2 lime, juiced
Preheat grill (or oven ). Season salmon with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, make the salsa. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, onion, and cilantro. Add in the avocado cubes, and mix carefully. Squeeze 1/2 lime over the mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in the fridge and allow the sit while the salmon cooks.
Grill the salmon (or cook in the oven, or stovetop, however you prefer). Cook 5-6 minutes on each side until the salmon flakes easily.
Top the salmon with the tomato salsa and extra lime wedges, if desired. Serve!
Serves 4.
I had 2 pieces of salmon that we grilled … about 1/2 pound each. This dinner was very tasty, and something I felt good about eating. It was very filling as well!
And I loved the crunchy little bits of skin! So glad grilling season is here!

Thank you Jane! It really turned out well!
Have you tried making your own hummingbird feed? It’s just sugar and water, so super cheap! And anything with avocado in it has my seal of approval. Bet that salsa would be delicious on a veggie burger! Or, well, any burger ;D

I keep meaning to make our own hummingbird food, but the hubby has this HUGE container of the powder stuff. The salsa actually was good just by itself!
Beautiful photos. Why did I never think to put avocado in salsa? I can’t wait to try it.

It really is fascinating how seasons are different in different places! Snow, rain, sun … all of the above! Thanks Marina, have a good weekend!
We have a few hummingbirds around here. They seem to like the columbine. Hope you had a nice weekend.

Vanessa, thank you so much! You won’t believe this … but I have been looking without much luck for flowers that attract hummingbirds, and columbine is the Colorado State Flower! A big DUHHH on my part! You just made my day, thanks!
Whoo hoo!
