  • Mix avocado, corn, lime juice, cilantro, salt & pepper together to make avocado corn salsa and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add salmon pieces, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen salmon.
Save time with store-bought slaw mix, corn salsa or guac. 
Store everything separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Salmon up to 3-4 days, slaw up to 4 days and it's best to make the salsa day of. 
Freeze the cooked salmon in freezer safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
