Grilled Salmon with Avocados

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped*
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Salt and black pepper
4 (4-ounce) salmon filets
1 ripe Avocado from Mexico, pitted and peeled
In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar and honey. Stir in tomato, parsley, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat grill pan or gas or charcoal grill. Place salmon on grill, skin side down. Grill 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill 8-10 minutes more or until flesh of salmon flakes easily. Place 1 salmon filet, skin side down, on each of 4 plates. Cut avocado lengthwise into 12 slices; place 3 slices on top of each salmon filet. Spoon vinaigrette over salmon, dividing it evenly. If desired, serve salmon on a bed of rice pilaf.
*To peel and seed tomatoes, cut a small X in the skin and place in boiling water 15 seconds or until skin can be peeled away easily. Remove skin, cut tomatoes in half crosswise and squeeze gently to remove seeds.
