Feel like being transported to Tulum? Make this recipe and drift away, baby. I made my own pico (so easy) and lime/cilantro rice. Get creative, bitch!

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.

• 1/2 tsp. Oregano

• 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!
