Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).

Lay a baking sheet or sheet pan with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Place the center cut of salmon on the baking sheet.

Drizzle olive oil on top of the salmon.

Use about a quarter pouch of Tangy BBQ sauce and smear it over the salmon with the back of a spoon.

Pop the salmon in the oven to slow-roast.

While the salmon is roasting, prepare the avocado salsa.

Dice three ripe avocados by laying them flat and making cuts to create cubes, then add them to a bowl.

Combine the diced avocados with minced red onion, jalapeño, baby tomatoes, chopped cilantro, a little salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Squeeze lime juice over the salsa and mix gently to keep the avocado intact.

Once the salmon is done, plate it and top with the avocado salsa and lime wedges.

Serve with tortilla chips.
