Healthy foods, especially leafy green vegetables, and foods with omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and tuna, can be beneficial for eye health. 

Ingredients (serves 4):

Grilled Salmon

• 4 (6 oz) skin-on salmon filets
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Avocado salsa

• 1 avocado
• 2 Tbsp finely chopped red onion
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place parchment in a baking dish or baking sheet; set aside.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the flesh (not skin) of the salmon and brush to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on thickness (4-6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of salmon).
4. Meanwhile, mash the avocado along the inside walls of a small bowl using the backside of a fork until few lumps remain. Mix in the onion, lime juice, cilantro, and salt.
5. Serve cooked salmon with 1/4 of the avocado salsa.
