Rainbow Grilled Salmon with peaches

The Avocado Corn Salsa is a staple piece of this recipe, and my friends are obsessed with it! It really is just such a simple and wonderful combination. I first tried the combo at a really cool dinner party I attended while training in California, and it was so irresistible that I knew I needed to recreate it.

This grilled Salmon Salad is really fresh and incorporates a lot of different flavors. What I love is the way that the acidity of lime in the Avocado Corn Salsa works with the caramelized grilled peaches to give them a perfectly sweet flavor. It also holds really well, which makes for awesome leftovers!

Recipe:

(Serves 1 hungry human…or Increase proportions accordingly)

  • 4 oz wild caught salmon

  • 2 cups spring mix

  • 1 ear of grilled corn (or frozen/canned)

  • 1 lime

  • 1 avocado cubed

  • 1/2 cup shredded beets

  • 1 cup diced grape tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup diced red onion ( or however you like it)

  • 1 peach cut in quarters

  • 1 tbs coconut or olive oil (whichever you prefer)

  • salt & pepper to taste

  • Handful of chopped herbs (cilantro, parsley, basil)  (I usually use whatever is fresh in the garden or fridge)

*I think coconut oil brings out a really awesome flavor in the salmon. Never underestimate the power of salt & pepper -> sometimes they are really underrated!*

  • Preheat grill to medium heat

  • Season Salmon Filet with coconut oil salt & pepper

    1. Cook 6-8 mins each side (until flakey)- be careful not to over cook

    2. Slice the peaches into quarters, and grill the slices for about 5-7 mins (or until grill marks appear) then flip and grill for another 5 mins.

  • Toss spring mix, onion, tomatoes, and shredded beets together

  • Mix corn, avocado, and lime

  • Top spring mix-veggie combo with Avovado Corn salsa

  • Layer grilled salmon and peaches on top

  • Served chilled or at room temperature.

Other Salad Tips:

Shredded beets are one of my favorite things to top a salad with, because they bring good flavor and moisture to the salad and complement the different vegetables in such a great way. You really don’t even need salad dressing with the beets! Fresh herbs also go a long way in making any salad taste really fresh
