1/4 cup red onion chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 medium tomato diced
1 avocado diced
2 cloves garlic minced
6 ounces fresh salmon filet

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450℉.
Combine the onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper in a small bowl and let marinate for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, add diced tomato, avocado and minced garlic to the bowl. Stir to combine the salsa and set aside.
Coat salmon with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
