Seared Salmon with Avocado, Shrimp, and Mango Salsa
Chef Charles Holmes serves salmon for brunch often and says it's a big hit at the Gaige House Inn--particularly when it's hot outside. Since most of the guests have been hiking or walking by the time they show up for brunch, they appreciate a substantial meal. Salmon and avocado contribute heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
