adjective: feeling angry about the need for food you are not allowed to have on the Whole30. "I'm feeling hangry for chocolate."

If you've been following my schedule, you've made it through week 1 of the Whole30.  This week should feel more manageable.  My advice?  Plan ahead.  Boil some eggs, get to the grocery store and stock up for a few recipes.  Make some soup.

Today's recipe, which I found on thecookierookie.com, is Whole30 and looks amazing. She grilled the salmon, which is tough to do in the middle of Manhattan in January, so I've adapted to the broiler.

GRILLED SALMON WITH AVOCADO SALSA from thecookierookie.com

You will need a broiling pan and the following ingredients:

• 2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces
• 1 tbs olive oil (I used light extra virgin olive oil)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp ancho chili powder
• 1 tsp black pepper

For the Avocado salsa:

• 1 avocado, sliced
• ½ small red onion, sliced
• Juice from 2 limes
• 1-2 tbs finely chopped cilantro (depending on how big of a cilantro lover you are)
• Salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• Mix the salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion and black pepper together, rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and this seasoning mix. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 
• Pre-heat the broiler. 
• Combine the avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl and mix well, chill until ready to use. 
• Broil the salmon to desired doneness. 
• Top with avocado salsa and enjoy!

Love,
