Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, mash the avocados until smooth.
- Add 1 tbsp (10g) finely chopped onion, 3 tbsp (44g) lime juice, 1 tsp (5g) mustard, and 4 tbsp (55g) olive oil to the mashed avocados.
- Mix in 1 tbsp (3.8g) chopped fresh parsley.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate the remoulade while preparing the salmon.
- Season the salmon fillets with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp (27g) vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down (if applicable).
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden and crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through to your desired doneness.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
- Spoon a generous amount of avocado remoulade over each salmon fillet.
- Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Ensure your salmon fillets are at room temperature before cooking to promote even cooking.
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel to achieve a nice sear and crispy skin.
- Use a hot pan and don't move the salmon too early to allow a golden crust to form.
- When making the avocado remoulade, mix gently to keep the avocado chunks intact for a better texture.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the best texture and flavors.
By following these steps and tips, you will create a delicious and beautifully presented pan-seared salmon with avocado remoulade.
