Ingredients

for the marinade:

4 filets salmon - skin on
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder

for the salsa:

1 avocado - chopped
1 large tomato - seeded and chopped
½ red onion - chopped
1 can black beans - rinsed and drained
1 lime
2 tablespoon cilantro - finely diced
to taste salt

Instructions

Whisk the olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and onion powder together in a bowl, then use a brush to generously coat the salmon fillets on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. (If using an outdoor grill, you can preheat it while the salmon is marinating.)
Combine the avocado, tomato, onion, black beans and cilantro in a bowl and mix together. Squeeze the lime over the top, add some salt and mix again. Chill until ready to use.
Heat your grill pan over medium high heat, and sear the salmon on both sides for about 2 - 3 minutes per side, or until mostly cooked through.
Remove the salmon to a plate and top generously with the salsa.
