Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 salmon fillets, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Peach Avocado Salsa
- 2 ripe peaches, diced
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Start by seasoning your salmon fillets with olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors before grilling.
- Make the salsa: While the salmon marinates, dice the peaches, avocado, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Chop the cilantro finely and combine all ingredients in a bowl. Add fresh lime juice (natural), salt, and pepper to taste. Gently fold everything together to keep the avocado intact and creamy.
- Grill the salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a beautiful char.
- Cook the smoked turkey bacon: While grilling the salmon, cook the smoked turkey bacon in a pan until crispy. Chop into small pieces and mix some into your salsa for an extra smoky touch.
- Serve and enjoy: Plate the grilled salmon and generously spoon the peach avocado salsa on top or alongside. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Choose ripe peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft for the best natural sweetness.
- Don’t overmix the salsa; gently toss ingredients to keep the avocado creamy and the texture fresh.
- Grill with skin on to keep the salmon moist and prevent sticking to the grill.
- Use a clean, hot grill for easy flipping and to avoid tearing the fish.
- Make the salsa a few hours ahead and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
