grilled salmon avocado

The past few days in Atlanta have  been a complete tease for spring temperatures. Once the warm(er) weather arrives, I find myself gravitating to recipes with lots of fresh ingredients, bold herbs and lots of color. This salmon dish was the perfect way to welcome the spring temperatures and find a new favorite healthy recipe. I don’t abide by the seasonal rule for avocados; for me, they’re a year round fruit (did you know it’s a fruit? I always associated it with vegetables for some reason). Add this to your upcoming menu. It’s about to be your new favorite dish!

    Avocado? I’m in. Can’t wait to give this a try — I have almost all of the ingredients on hand, so I just need to pick up some wild salmon. I love grilling season (mostly because Levi does all of the work, ha)!

    I bought some Tilapia at Sprouts yesterday, so I think I’ll swap the tilapia for salmon for this recipe. YUM!
