Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For the Peach Avocado Salsa
- 2 ripe peaches, diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp lime juice (natural)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Optional Topping
- 1/4 cup smoked turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Make the Peach Avocado Salsa: While the salmon rests, combine diced peaches and avocado in a bowl. Finely chop red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro, then add to the bowl. Mix in lime juice (natural), olive oil, and a pinch of salt gently to keep the avocado chunky. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Grill the Salmon: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest briefly to retain juices.
- Assemble and Serve: Place each salmon fillet onto serving plates. Spoon the peach avocado salsa generously over the top. For added smoky crunch, sprinkle crumbled smoked turkey bacon on the salsa. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro or lime zest if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Choose fresh salmon fillets that are firm and bright, without any fishy odor.
- Maintain medium-high grill temperature for a perfect sear without drying the fish.
- Let the salsa rest at least 10 minutes to meld the flavors beautifully.
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness in the salsa.
- Fold the avocado in gently at the end to keep salsa chunky and prevent mashing.
- Let the salmon rest after grilling to redistribute juices for a moist bite.
