Pan Seared Salmon with Avocado Salsa

Pan Seared Salmon with Avocado Salsa

An easy pan seared filet of fish is perfection when topped with a spicy, citrusy avocado salsa. It’s easy enough for a busy weeknight, but elegant enough for having company. It’s also super nutritious and filling, especially paired with your favorite veggies.

Tip: When choosing salmon from your fish counter, wild salmon is always the best choice you can make. It’s full of heart healthy fats but doesn’t have to antibiotics and coloring that farmed fish have. It also tastes much better, so it’s a win all around.
