# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get a sweet-savory punch and creamy salsa topping all in one bite—your weekday salmon will never be the same.
  • This dish is a vibrant showstopper that looks like you spent hours, but takes less than thirty minutes.
02 -
  • The salmon dries out fast if overbaked—check early, and remember carryover heat finishes the job.
  • Combining the salsa just before serving keeps the avocado from getting mushy and preserves the crunch.
03 -
  • Double the salsa for parties—it disappears faster than you think.
  • A light brush of oil on the parchment ensures no sticking even with skinless fillets.
