Instructions

12 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed 3/4 cup chopped green onion 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 4 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice 3 Fresh California Avocados, seeded and diced* 1 1/2 Tbsp. jalapeño, seeded and minced (or to taste) 4 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder 1 1/2 tsp. cumin 3 Tbsp. brown sugar 3 tsp. kosher salt 12 (6-oz) wild Copper River salmon fillets

Place tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove tomatillos and chop roughly.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine chili powder, cumin, sugar and salt. Sprinkle fish with spice mix.
Heat a flat top grill or large sauté pan to medium heat. Sear the salmon rub side down for 2 minutes. Flip the fillets and place pan in ovenproof pan, seared side up.
Roast salmon for about 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer fish fillets to plates and top with the Cilantro Avocado Salsa.
