Broiled Salmon with Avocado and Grapefruit
February 9, 2015
Somehow, someway I managed to make food this past week and three attempts at whoopie pies. I didn’t let on that I was facing a cold right along with my toddler.
Most mornings consisted of putting together my quick salmon and avocado toasts along with 3 cups of coffee just to help me stay awake until naptime. Naptime just wasn’t for the toddler and we would crawl into my bed and snuggle together until the time was right for us to wake. My husband would get home in the evenings from work and you could bet 9 out 10 times that we were both still in our jammies.
You would think it was the life to lounge around all the time but it was “miserable.” Headaches, runny noses, congestion, fever and bland taste buds were to name a few.
One of those nights I made this broiled salmon for dinner. Talk about a quick, flavorful meal in less than 15 minutes. We are definitely a fish family and any quick meal with easy cleanup comes in handy for a sick household.

I eat salmon at least once a week and am always looking for new flavor combinations. I love the addition of the grapefruit and avocado!
What a great healthy combo! Always looking for new ways to serve Salmon!
Lovely!
Definitely pinning this for later. I’ve been trying to eat salmon every single week and am running out of recipes. Considering grapefruit and avocado are two of me and my husband’s FAVORITES, this is perfect! And so pretty, too 🙂
I’ve never seen salmon look so pretty
Three of my favorite things in one dish – yes!
Just gorgeous! And what a wonderfully unique combination of flavors! I’ve seen so, so many recipes for salmon, but never this delicious flavor profile! So fantastic! And I really, really hope you’re all feeling much better soon! Hey – with this fabulously healthy salmon recipe, you should be super-healthy in no time at all! 😀
Your Photography is amazing! I wish I could jump in and eat that Salmon.
I never thought of pairing grapefruit with salmon. I think I may try that this weekend as I have a whole bowl of grapefruit sitting on the kitchen counter.
This gets a 10 on the tasteometer!!
Mmm Mmmm!! I love this combo to the ends of the earth and back!
This looks so tasty! Makes me wish we could get decent salmon where we live.
So sorry you were sick, and the wee one was as well. That is never fun. We were under the weather not long ago too. Nothing worse. Hope you are both on the mend,
Love this recipe. I’m a salmon girl. My dad loved to fish for salmon so I developed a great appreciation for it.
Salmon has always been one of my favorites fishes, I just adore how flavorful it is. Love this clean, simple version Meagan!
