Grilled Salmon with Avocado Spread

This recipe is a smidge summery. But, we all know summer time will be here eventually! It's about this time of the year I stop finding comfort in soup and want to start eating a lighter, more summery menu. I keep envisioning this dish next to a nice spinach salad, maybe with some diced mango, red onion, cilantro and vinegarette dressing. But, it would be nice with a rice pilaf too.

Enjoy!

Grilled Salmon with an Avocado Spread
Adapted from Allrecipes.com

For the Fish:
6 salmon steaks, 4-6 ounces each
2 teaspoons garlic power
1 lime
Pepper to taste

For the Spread:
2 avocados, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Pepper to taste
Sea-salt to taste

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grates.

In a medium bowl, mash together avocados, garlic, yogurt, and lime juice. Add sea salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

Rub salmon with lime slices, sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper. Place on the prepared grill and cook about 15 minutes, turning once. They are done when they are easily flaked with a fork.

Serve fish with the avocado mixture alongside.

Serves 6.
