Citrus Salmon with Avocado Salsa

Super Yummy and Healthy! And the miracle: Tristan liked it and Jake asked for seconds!! Both of them usually hate fish and you all know Tristan, he's just not a big fan of taking 5 min out of his busy day to eat. But they Loved it! It was really good and super easy. With out interruption (if that were possible) It takes about 20 min beginning to end!


Salmon:
Four 6-ounce salmon filets
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salsa:
1 large avocado, diced
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 orange,peeled and diced
1 jalapeƱo pepper, seeded, ribs removed, and diced OR 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
salt and black pepper to taste
.
In a baking dish combine the olive oil and the orange juice.  Lay salmon in it and turn to coat.  In a small bowl combine the salt, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, allspice, and cayenne pepper.  Sprinkle over each side of salmon filets.  Set aside to marinate while you make the salsa.
In a small bowl combine the avocado, red onion, orange, jalapeno, and cilantro.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and chill.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high and lightly coat with olive oil or vegetable cooking spray.  Add the salmon and cook for 4-5 minutes; turn and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes or until fish flakes easily.  Serve with chilled avocado salsa.  Makes 4 servings.
