The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 pieces of fresh salmon (about 2″ wide/4 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados (diced)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (diced)

  • zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instruction

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and salt and pepper the salmon. Add in the butter and olive oil and once melted, add in the (paper towel dried) salmon skin side up. Sear the salmon for about 4 minutes, then carefully flip over and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  • Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a mixing cup. Add all the ingredients for the avocado salsa to a mixing bowl, and pour the olive oil mix over the salsa. Gently toss together until everything is well coated.
  • Serve with some of the avocado salsa over the top of each piece of salmon and garnish with fresh cilantro.
