image from cookinglight.com

2 cups cubed avocado
1 cup halved yellow heirloom cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon chopped serrano chile
1 1/2 tablespoons sliced shallot
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6-oz.) skin-on salmon fillets

Preheat grill to medium-high (about 450°F). Combine avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, serrano, and shallot in a medium bowl. Whisk together lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; drizzle over avocado mixture, and stir to coat.

Brush olive oil on both sides of salmon; sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Place salmon, skin side down, on grill; cook, flipping once, until salmon is opaque and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve salmon topped with salsa.
