Baked Salmon with Corn & Avocado Salsa
Makes 4 Servings (with enough salmon left over for two more meals)
Ingredients
Baked Salmon
2 pounds salmon fillet
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch black pepper
Avocado Salsa
2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 avocado, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onions (about 2 onions)
1 tablespoon fresh or bottled lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, optional
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush the honey and mustard evenly over the salmon; season with the salt and pepper. Place in a baking dish and bake until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 18 to 20 minutes. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salsa by combining the corn, avocado, bell pepper, green onion, lime juice, cilantro as desired, salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Serve the salmon with the salsa on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro.
