Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa

We recently discovered this divine salmon recipe. It's a very healthy and is a Whole30 recipe too! This is probably our favorite way to eat salmon. If we don't feel like grilling, we just line a baking sheet with foil, spray it, place the salmon skin down, cover with foil and bake at 425 for 12-18 mins. So delicious!!
