Say "hello," to the easiest weeknight dinner that comes together in less than 20 minutes! This is my Broiled Salmon with Avocado Gremolata Salad, and if you're looking for a simple and easy salmon recipe that is nearly impossible to mess up, this one is it. It's made from tender, flaky, broiled salmon that is both perfectly-cooked and juicy, and is topped with a creamy, irresistible avocado salad that practically melts into the salmon... and into your mouth. Run to your kitchen and make this recipe ASAP - you won't regret it!
Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet
Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 4 6 Ounce Salmon Filets
- ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
For the Avocado Gremolata Salad:
- 2 Avocados
- ½ Cup Italian Parsley chopped
- 1 Lemon zested and juiced
- 2 Cloves Garlic mashed
- 1 Teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin
- 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- To make this recipe, start by preparing the salmon. Add a piece of foil or parchment paper to a baking sheet.
- Next, add the salmon fillets to the baking sheet and season with the sea salt, cumin, and ground black pepper.
- Rub the top of the salmon filets with olive oil, then transfer the tray to the oven and turn the broiler on high. Allow the salmon to cook for 8 minutes. (As a tip, I like to place the tray on the second rack of the oven, so that the parchment paper doesn't burn). If you prefer the salmon more cooked-through, you can broil the salmon for 10-11 minutes instead.
- While the salmon is in the oven, prepare the Avocado Gremolata salad. Dice the avocado and Italian Parsley and add them to a medium-sized bowl.
- Next, add in the remaining salad ingredients (the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, and olive oil) and toss until the avocado is fully coated in the seasonings.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a plate.
- Top with the Avocado Gremolata salad, then serve and enjoy!
