Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional for heat)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F). Clean the grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Brush the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using). Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture, and gently toss to combine. Season the relish with a pinch of salt and set it aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
To serve, place a salmon fillet on each plate and top generously with the corn tomato avocado relish. Optional: Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge on the side.
Enjoy your fresh, healthy, and delicious grilled salmon with corn tomato avocado relish!
