SALMON with GUACAMOLE and PICO de GALLO!

David and I actually really enjoyed this pleasant way of serving salmon! I was quite surprised as I wouldn't have ever thought about serving guacamole with fish!

Instructions:

To make the pico de gallo, combine the tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano pepper, garlic, 1 tsp of the lime juice and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium bowl.
