Why This Recipe Stands Out
This recipe marries simplicity with sophistication, offering a quick yet elegant dish featuring succulent roasted salmon crowned with a vibrant avocado and kiwi salsa. What makes it truly remarkable is its versatility; you can effortlessly double the portions for larger gatherings, and any leftover salsa promises to elevate other dishes, from salads to tacos. I’ve broken down each step to ensure seamless preparation, making it a breeze for anyone to master. Dive into this culinary delight, and I guarantee you’ll be won over by its flavor and ease.

Ingredients

• 2 (5-ounce) packages wild-caught frozen salmon fillets, thawed
• 1 tablespoon Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt, divided
• 3 organic kiwis, peeled and finely diced
• 1 organic avocado, finely diced
• 1/2-1 organic jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and minced
• 2 tablespoons finely diced organic red onion
• 2 tablespoons finely minced organic cilantro
• Juice of one organic lime (~4 tablespoons)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry, then arrange them skin-side down on the prepared parchment. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets and season with ½ teaspoon of salt.
3. Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it easily flakes with a fork; be mindful not to overcook.
4. While the salmon cooks, prepare the salsa by combining the diced kiwi, avocado, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Note: You can make the salsa ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use.
5. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Plate the fillets and generously spoon half of the prepared salsa over each. Sprinkle with additional black pepper if desired and serve promptly with the remaining salsa on the side.
