Grilled Salmon With Avocado Salsa

While it may officially be fall, we’ve been having a heat wave here in Southern California, so I’ve been doing my best to take advantage of last minute summer grilling! One of my easiest, healthiest, and most delicious Weight Watchers grilling recipes is this Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa. The creaminess of the avocado and the moist, buttery avocado are a perfect contrast to the tangy lime and spicy jalapeño. The flavors are bold and delicious, yet this healthy meal is only 8 Points per serving. Pair it with steamed brown rice or quinoa and roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Decadent grilled salmon is topped with a tangy and flavorful avocado to make one seriously heart healthy Weight Watchers recipe. Easy to put together, and very satisfying, this dish is always a crowd pleaser.
