Grilled Salmon & Bok Choy with Orange-Avocado Salsa

 

This is a great dish for spring and summer when it's the season of all things grilled. While on our cleanse we could eat fish in weeks 2 & 3. This was one of our favorites!

The orange-avocado salsa is what really set this apart for me. Fish can be somewhat bland if you don't season it or marinate it. By adding a healthy salsa to the top, your flavor possibilities are limitless. Definitely try this one!

Boy choy is part of the cabbage family, but don't run away just yet! This is a Chinese cabbage and definitely worth a try. The flavor is very mild but it really adds a lot in texture. We use this a lot in stir-fry's but have never had it grilled. Here's my tips:

1. Make sure it's oiled well with olive oil.
2. Grill it a little longer on indirect heat (top rack of the grill) if you don't like crunchy veggies.

This dish was very tasty and super healthy! Check it out!
