Spicy Grilled Salmon with Sauteed Broccoli Rabe, Tomatoes and Avocado

I would eat salmon every night. Really. Only 2 issues. It's expensive and I would probably get mercury poisoning within a month. It's just so good- no matter what you do to it...it pretty much comes out awesome. Here's tonight's version...

 

 

1 lb. Salmon
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Paprika
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil
Crushed Red Pepper
1 Bunch Broccoli Rabe, washed and chopped
1/2 Onion, chopped
1 Avocado, chopped
1 Tomato, chopped
1/2 Lemon

On a piece of foil, drizzle the salmon with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Coat with garlic powder, chili powder and paprika. Add a dash of crushed pepper.

Place salmon on grill, skin-side down, over medium heat and cook for 7 minutes. Turn over and cook an additional 5 minutes until flaky and a little crispy.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and let cook for about 3 minutes. Drain.

In a large frying pan, heat a little bit of olive oil and add the onions. Sauté for about 3 minutes until browned. Add the broccoli and cook down for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushed red pepper, a pinch or two of salt and pepper and cook for another minute.

Take off the heat, add the avocado and stir. Squeeze the lemon over the broccoli and the salmon and serve.

It's a great combo of spicy and crunch with a subdued bitter green and touch of citrus.
