Prep time:12 mins- Cook time:7 mins

Avocado and salmon are both rich in healthy fats, so are important to include in your diet on a regular basis. Thankfully they are absolutely delicious too!
This filling meal is a wonderful option for warmer days as it’s so fresh and easy to put together, or great with a side roast vegetables in cooler seasons.

Notes
- *The great majority of salmon (and trout) in many countries is farmed and this does affect the nutrition content. We do encourage local produce however, food integrity is also important. Getting to know your local fishmonger will help you further understand the quality and integrity of your fish options.
