Description
This delicious and healthy salmon dish features tender, flaky fish fillets topped with a creamy, rich avocado sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 avocado
- 1 lime
- 2 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 lb salmon fillet
Instructions
- Step: Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor. Juice the lime and mince the garlic cloves. Add the lime juice, minced garlic, sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Step: Season both sides of the salmon fillets with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Step: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the fish easily releases from the pan. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- Step: Serve the salmon fillets hot, topped with a generous dollop of the avocado cream.
Notes
The salmon is seasoned with simple spices and pan-seared to perfection, while the avocado cream adds a delightful tang and creaminess to the dish.
