    What Is Avocado Salmon?

    Avocado salmon is a grilled salmon that is topped with an avocado relish or salsa.  We have seasoning the fish with paprika and Italian herbs for a savory flavor that really compliments the bright topping.

    Avocado Salmon Q&A

    What is the white stuff that comes out of salmon when cooked?

    Before you go trashing that salmon, read this. That white slimy stuff is called albumin, and it’s protein that solidifies as salmon cooks. It is completely safe to eat that albumin. Albumin tastes completely fine, it’s good for you, it’s just another protein that comes from the salmon.

    Is salmon healthy?

    Eating wild caught salmon is beneficial to your diet. Salmon is packed with Omega 3s. Eating fish twice per week is a healthy habit to make.

    How long does this last as leftovers

    Fish does not have a very long shelf life - so eat this pithing 2-3 days of making it.  Store in the fridge in an airtight container.

    Tips for cooking Salmon

    • Always cook skin side down.
    • Pat the fish dry before cooking.
    • Use a thermometer to ensure you do not overcook your salmon.
    • When shopping flook for salmon that appears moist rather than dried out. Avoid salmon with any browned spots. Opt for frozen over fresh.
