Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using).
Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon grills, prepare the avocado salsa by combining the diced avocados, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the grill and plate it.
Top the grilled salmon fillets with the avocado salsa and serve immediately.

Notes

For added heat, you can include diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce in the avocado salsa.
Serve on a bed of greens like arugula or spinach for extra crunch.
Use orange or lemon juice instead of lime for a different citrus twist.
For a dairy variation, sprinkle crumbled feta or cotija cheese on the salsa.
