By Chef Laura Briscoe
Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados, diced small
  • 1 papaya, diced small
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced small
  • 1/2 jalapeño pepper, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley, minced
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice to taste

Instructions

  • For the salsa: In a small bowl, combine avocado, papaya, red onion, jalapeño and cilantro or parsley. Season to taste with sea salt and lime juice.
  • For the fish: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place salmon, skin-side down (if fish is not skinned), on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray or rub fish lightly with coconut oil. Top each piece of fish with granola. Press to adhere. Place fish in oven and cook about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove fish from oven.
