Grilled Salmon with avocado salsa

Original recipe found here.

If you don't like avocados, the rub is delicious on the fish even without the salsa. Last time I made it I tripled the rub and put it in a small tupperware up with my spices, so next time I'll just pull that out. Sorry for all the foot notes, the salsa is a very flexible recipe. It's really kind of like guacamole, but with diced rather than smashed avocados.

Ingredients (for 4 people):

2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces

1 tbs olive oil

1 tsp salt (I found this to be a little salty, and use 1/2 tsp)

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp paprika powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp black pepper

Avocado salsa

1 avocado, peeled, seeded and sliced (I love avocados, so I use 2)

1 small red onion, sliced (red onions are huge! Adjust to taste)

3 mild hot peppers, seeded and deveined, diced or sliced (adjust to taste. I would consider an Anaheim a mild pepper. I've used way less hot peppers, or even left them out since my kids hate spicy food.)

Juice from 2 limes (I've used only 1 before and thought it was plenty limey)

3 tbs olive oil

2 tbs finely chopped cilantro

Salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Mix the salt, coriander, cumin, paprika, onion and black pepper together, rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and this seasoning mix, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Pre-heat the grill. (If it's not grilling season, you can bake the salmon)
   
3. Combine the avocado, onion, hot peppers, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt in a bowl and mix well, chill until ready to use.
4. Grill the salmon to desired doneness.
5. Serve the salmon topped with the avocado salsa. Rice makes a good side.
