Salmon with salsa

  • 100ml lime juice
  • 50ml olive oil

Method

  1. Dice avocado and onion into 2cm cubes.
  2. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice garlic and chilli (de-seeded).
  3. Mix all together in a bowl and add half of the coriander leaves, lime juice and olive oil salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Score 3 lines on the skin of the salmon (get a knife and slice 2mm deep and 5cm long into the skin).
