Crispy Pan Grilled Salmon with Avocado Lime Salsa

My family eats a lot of seafood, especially fish. I try to cook fish for them two to three times a week and salmon is one of our favorites to eat. In fact, I have made and shared many different salmon recipes with you all. Lately, I have been cooking salmon using my grill pan. Pan grilled salmon comes out with a golden-brown crust and when cooked properly, has a moist and flaky flesh as well. Lately, I also have been experimenting with different salsas to go with the salmon. So far, it has turned out good and has been getting positive feedback from my family. In this recipe, the seasoned salmon fillets were pan grilled to perfection and then served with a salsa mixture of avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper. This crisp tender salmon with the fresh clean avocado lime salsa is absolutely a keeper. You should try it!
