Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the 4 salmon fillets and 1 sliced zucchini with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Grill the salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F. Grill the zucchini slices for 2-3 minutes per side until tender and charred.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, diced tomato, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the juice of 1 lime. Gently toss to combine and season with salt to taste.
Step 4
Arrange the grilled salmon and zucchini on plates. Spoon the avocado salsa generously over the top of each fillet.
Step 5
Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges if desired.
