We love the unexpected topper of this salmon dish with our homemade avocado salsa! Salmon is already full of protein and heart healthy fats. The avocado adds in even more heart healthy fat, nearly the alphabet's worth of vitamins (A, B, C, E, and K), folate, protein, and a boost of fiber. We love the contrast of creamy avocado, the crunch of the red onions, and the tender salmon underneath.
