Mumbai Baked Salmon with Avocado Salsa

Mumbai Baked Salmon with Avocado Salsa is a quick and easy meal to make when you need something light! 

Well, it happened. 

Charlie is officially mobile. 

WHAT THE EFF are we going to do? Our house is a giant death trap. We have tools, paint, boxes, etc. from all the remodeling lying around that she can now get into. OH. And we have zero baby gates. 

What kind of baby gates do you get? I know there are a zillion different kinds so if you have any idea on which ones are better LMK. And if you have any tips on child-proofing your house, please lay them on me. 

I realize we should have been more prepared given she’s been attempting to crawl for the past two weeks. BUT! We’ve been so distracted with wrapping up our remodel that well, we thought we had more time. OOPS! 

Anyway, now that we have our hands really full, I am all about quick and flavorful meals. Enter this Mumbai Baked Salmon with Avocado Salsa. This is actually a spin-off of a recipe from my cookbook – Modern Comfort Cooking. When you think of spices from Mumbai think of warmth vs heat. Spices like turmeric and paprika won’t make you breathe fire. In fact, they bring flavor without having to add a ton of fat to a dish. 

Plus, the avocado salsa is money. We make this a lot because it’s so versatile! This meal can come together in 15 minutes which is probably the exact amount of time I will have before Charlie ends up in Juniper’s doggie dish…..wait.

Too late! Send help!
