2 Salmon Filets*
2 Limes
1 Ripe Avocado
1 Bunch Chives
3 TBSP Olive Oil
Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper
*This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. It is not really necessary to exactly double the oil though. And if necessary, a single bunch of chives can be stretched when the recipe is doubled without losing much flavor. Scallions can be substituted for the chives - but be sure to mince them very finely. Finally, salmon steaks can be used in place of filets - just be careful with the bones.

Steps:

Get enough salmon steaks or filets for the number of people you're serving. Squeeze lime juice over the salmon and salt very lightly. Let sit for about a half hour. Get half as many avocados as you have salmon filets. Dice. For every avocado add about one tablespoon olive oil and one teaspoon lime juice. [My family likes it a little heavier on the lime juice - so experiment. It's not a super strong lime flavor. It's kind of amazing how the avocado and salmon meld with lime.] Add a good amount of snipped chives. Lightly salt and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir and let rest while the salmon cooks. Coat salmon with olive oil. Broil, BBQ or pan-grill the salmon. Top each piece of salmon with the avocado-lime-chive mixture.
