I love a nice salmon fillet. It makes a quick dinner and it lends itself to all kinds of different toppings. Whether you pan fry the salmon or grill it on a cedar plank, topping it with a healthy side dish gives you a restaurant quality meal. This fresh and light strawberry salsa consists of ripe cherry tomatoes, strawberries, creamy avocado, and a light lemon/honey vinaigrette is the perfect alongside the salmon. Another easy to make side dish for salmon is this Easy Peach Salsa you simply cannot go wrong.

Ingredients

• Cherry Tomatoes – Regular cherry tomatoes work. However, if you can find the Flavor Bombs or the Sugar Bombs use those. You can also use mixed color cherry tomatoes if desired.
• Avocado – One large avocado, diced
• Green Onions – You will use both the white and green parts of the onion
• Strawberries – You will cut the strawberries into chunks
• Parsley – Fresh parsley, minced
• Salt – Use regular table salt
• Black Pepper – Fresh ground for the best flavor
• Olive Oil – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Lemon Juice – Use a fresh squeezed lemon if possible
• Honey
• Salmon Fillet – You will need 4 salmon fillets, skin on preferably.

Recipe Tips

• If you like crispy salmon skin then make sure the fillet has the skin on it
• The salmon has very little seasoning on it so it blends in nice with the salsa

Notes

Keep in mind that if you are using wild caught salmon, the cook time is very short as they are not very thick. You may be able to just cook it on the stovetop
