- 4 (5oz) frozen or fresh sockeye salmon filets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Avocado salsa
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 red pepper diced
- 1 yellow pepper diced
- 1 small red onion diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup cilantro basil or parsley, chopped (I highly recommend the cilantro!)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
Preheat BBQ to med-high heat.
Brush salmon with a little bit of olive oil, then brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper then put on the grill skin-side down for 10-12 min, watching carefully so it doesn't overcook.
Meanwhile, mix together the salsa.
Remove salmon from the grill and add salsa overtop. Serve alongside brown rice or BBQ potatoes and enjoy!
Swap out the salmon for trout, tilapia or tuna.
Try out a range of different salmon marinades.
If you don’t like avocado, you can try making pineapple or mango salsa.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Sprinkle some water over top then reheat in the microwave and add on fresh salsa.
Freeze the cooked or raw salmon for up to 3 months.
