Oh how I love easy recipes. Baked salmon is frequently on our dinner menu. The One Pan Salmon Shrimp and Asparagus is served regularly in our home as is the Crab Stuffed Salmon. Loving those recipes gave me the inspiration for this new combination and I must tell you, it is by far, one of the most amazing recipes I have on my blog. We cannot get enough of it. The salmon itself is so flavorful and you can enjoy it without the salsa (this is how the kids eat it). My hubby and I just love the Avocado Salsa over it (it’s like guacamole over salmon), pure perfection. Savor every bite.
There are those recipes that take forever to make. Seems like you slave in the kitchen for hours to enjoy dinner. This is not the case with this recipe. I love how simple it is to make yet you would never know that once you taste the salmon. It’s a great dish to make when you are having guests and you want a dish that makes a statement.
