Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Medium Tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onion
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1 Tablespoon Jalapeño, seeded and minced (or to taste)
1 Fresh Lime, zested and juiced
1 Ripe Avocado, seeded and diced
1 1/2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Brown Sugar

Steps:

Place tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove tomatillos and when cool enough to handle, roughly chop them. Combine the tomatillos, onion, cilantro, jalapeño and lime juice and process in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Gently fold in the avocado. Season with salt to taste. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine chili powder, cumin, sugar, salt and lime zest. Sprinkle fish with spice mix. Heat a large oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon rub side down for 2 minutes then flip and place pan in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer fish fillets to plates and top with the Cilantro Avocado Salsa.
