Ingredients

  1. For the salmon:
  2. 4, 6 oz. salmon steaks
  3. 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  4. 3 Tbsp. orange juice
  5. Juice and zest of 1 lime
  6. 1 oz. tequila
  7. 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh or canned jalapeno pepper
  8. 1 clove garlic, crushed
  9. For the salsa combine:
  10. 1 ripe, medium avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into small cubes
  11. 8 cherry tomatoes, chopped
  12. 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  13. 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  14. Juice of 1 lime, or to taste
  15. 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  1. Pinch of cayenne pepper
  2. Salt to taste

Method

Place the salmon in a single layer in a sided dish. Combine remaining salmon ingredients in a bowl, and then pour over the salmon. Turn the salmon to coat on both sides with marinade. Marinate in the fridge 1 hour. Remove salmon from fridge. Preheat barbecue or indoor grill to medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade. Lightly oil the grill. Grill the salmon 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Serve each salmon steak with a generous spoonful of the salsa.

Note: Serve any leftover salsa the next day with taco chips (but ensure it didn’t come in contact with the raw salmon).

Serving Suggestions

To finish off this dish in a light and summery way serve it with organic salad greens tossed with your favourite vinaigrette. If desired, top the greens with orange segments and toasted almonds.
