Chili Lime Salmon with Pico de Gallo by Fresh Fit Kitchen

INGREDIENTS:

FOR CHILI LIME RUB

  • 1 tsp. Kosher Salt It's important to use Kosher salt here. Fine salt will be too salty.

  • 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder

  • 1/4 tsp. Onion Powder

  • 1 tsp. Lime Zest

FOR SALMON

  • 4 Salmon Filets, about 4 ounces each. Skin removed.

  • 2 tbsp. Avocado Oil

PICO DE GALLO (store bought or homemade!)

DIRECTIONS:

  • Mix together the Chili Lime Seasoning ingredients. Set aside.

  • Divide salmon into 4- 4 ounce portions. Make sure skin is removed.

  • Cover all sides of the salmon with the rub.

  • Heat a cast iron (or other heavy bottom skillet) over medium high heat. Add 2 tbsp. of avocado oil.

  • When the oil is shimmering and hot, add in the salmon filets. Cook 3 minutes per side. Make sure to brown the salmon on all sides. The salmon flakes easily when it's cooked through.

  • Move the salmon off to a plate and cover with pico de gallo!
