Need a quick summer dinner? Simple grilled salmon topped with fresh avocado and corn salad is a quick-summer-dinner overachiever.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/2 pound) skin-on salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges
  • 2 ears fresh corn, cooked
  • 2 slightly firm avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  2. 2Transfer the salmon fillet to the center of a large piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Squeeze limes over the seasoned salmon and bring edges of foil together to wrap the salmon.
  3. 3Set foil-covered salmon directly on the grill. Close the lid and cook until the salmon easily flakes with a fork, about 12 minutes.
  4. 4Meanwhile, make the avocado salad. Remove kernels from the corn cobs. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, avocado, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper, stir well and set aside.
  5. 5Once the salmon is done, divide it into 6 pieces, top with avocado salad and serve.
