Salmon with Avocado Sauce
Ingredients
- 4 small salmon fillets (skin removed)
- 1/2 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
Avocado Sauce
- 1 large avocado ripened
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- milk or water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with a large piece of foil and grease lightly. Place fillets in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
- Squeeze the lemon half to drizzle juice over the salmon fillets. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Wrap the edges of the foil over the salmon fillets - this helps to keep them moist!
- Bake for about 15-10 minutes or until flaky and tender.
- While salmon is baking, prepare the sauce.
- Add avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a blender or food processor and pulse several times. Add milk or water 2-3 tablespoons at a time until mixture reaches a pourable consistency.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- When salmon is fully cooked, drizzle with avocado sauce.
- If desired, serve salmon with additional chopped cilantro, fresh limes or lemons for squeezing, and rice.
