GRILLED SALMON WITH AVOCADO SALSA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Grill the salmon on an 11 inch (28 cm) griddle pan on high heat for two minutes on each side.
• In a separate bowl, lightly toss avocados, ¼ red onion, the juice from one lime, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt to taste.
• Spoon avocado salsa on top of the cooked salmon. Top with finely cut cilantro.
• Enjoy!

GRILLED AVOCADO STUFFED WITH BLACK BEAN SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• For the black bean salsa: Stir together the beans, cilantro, red onions, cumin, tomatoes, lime juice, bell peppers and jalapenos in a medium bowl until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the grilled avocado: Brush the cut sides of the avocados with olive oil and place on the grill cut-side down. Cook until charred, about 1 minute. Season with the chile powder and some salt and pepper.
• To serve, fill the cavity of each avocado with the salsa and serve with tortilla chips.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients for the marinade and set aside.
• Pound the breasts to even thickness or slice in half horizontally to get evenly sized breasts and add to the bowl of marinade. Mix through until the chicken is fully coated in the marinade. Use right away if needed or marinate for 30-minutes or up to 12 hours.
• Grill chicken over medium-high heat or in a large heavy-duty skillet on the stovetop for 5-6 minutes per side or until the inside is cooked through and the outside is charred. Top with fresh avocado salsa and serve immediately.

GRILLED SHRIMP TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Make the Salsa: Put the shallot, jalapeño pepper, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until finely chopped (a mini food processor is best, but large will work too) Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the chopped tomatoes, avocado, salt, lime juice, and cilantro to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside. (If not using right away, see the make-ahead instructions below.)
• Make the Shrimp: Heat the grill to medium. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and shrimp. Mix until the shrimp are evenly coated with seasoning. Grease the grill with a wad of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil or non-flammable cooking spray. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook, covered, until just opaque, 1½ to 2 minutes per side. Place the shrimp on a serving platter and cover to keep warm. (I use large shrimp for this recipe so that they don't fall through the grates. If you're worried your shrimp will slip through, you can always thread them on skewers or cook them indoors in a skillet on medium heat.)
• Grill the tortillas until warm and slightly charred, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, heat the tortillas in the microwave according to the package instructions.)
• Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the avocado salsa, 3 shrimp, and some red cabbage; pass the lime wedges and sour cream at the table. Alternatively, set the warm tortillas, grilled shrimp, avocado salsa, and fixings on the table for everyone to assemble their own tacos.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The avocado salsa can be made up to 8 hours ahead of time; place a piece of saran wrap inside the bowl and directly over the mixture to prevent discoloration and refrigerate. The shrimp can be tossed with the oil and seasoning, covered, and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead of time.

GRILLED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk olive oil, ground chipotle pepper, and chili powder together in a bowl; brush over the entire surface of the cut-side of each avocado.
• Grill avocados, cut-side down, on the preheated grill until grill-lines begin to form on the avocado flesh, about 5 minutes.

GRILLED SALMON TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high and line a large baking tray with foil. Mix the smoked paprika and cumin in a small bowl. Rub the spices over the salmon fillets and put them on the baking tray. Pop under the grill for 8-10 mins until cooked through.
• While the salmon cooks, combine the yogurt with the garlic and season to taste. In another bowl, combine the avocados, onion and tomatoes. Add the lime juice, season and scatter with coriander.
• Warm the taco shells in the oven, following pack instructions. Flake the salmon and serve with the tacos, avocado salsa, yogurt and lime wedges.
