  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine the marinade ingredients. Add the salmon, zip the top of the bag and give it a quick shake to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12.

Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes skin side down, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes until each side is crispy but not overcooked. Remove and set aside to rest. Remove the skin and flake the salmon before adding to the salad.

For the Salad:

  2. Combine the fruit and corn and toss with the remaining vinaigrette. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  3. Divide the dressed lettuce evenly amongst individual serving bowls and top with a hefty portion of the diced California Avocado, flaked salmon and fruit/corn mixture.

It’s a good idea to brush a little oil on the cut side of a California Avocado before grilling. They are also delicious in a host of other entrée recipes, from stove top to oven-baked to multi-cooker preparation.

As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados
