Instructions

For the Salsa

  1. Simply add the chopped avocado, red onion, and tomatoes in a bowl. Add the juice of one lime as well as salt and garlic powder. Mix with a spoon and enjoy with chips or on top of salmon.

For the Salmon

  1. In a medium hot skillet, place the salmon filets skin side down. Season the flesh side with salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze from half a lemon. Cook for about 5 minutes or until you can see from the sides of the salmon that it has been cooked halfway. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes or until it looks totally cooked on the sides. You will know it is when the bright color changes to an opaque lighter color and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

For the Broccolini

  1. In a medium hot skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and the broccolini. Season with salt and the add the minced garlic. Cook until it has been slightly charred on both sides then add the water, cover with a lid, reduce heat, and cook for another 5 minutes.
