5Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Avocado Cream
This quick and satisfying keto meal features flaky pan-seared salmon paired with a vibrant, creamy avocado lime sauce.
How to make it
- 1
Pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- 2
In a small bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado. Add the softened cream cheese, the juice of half the lime, and all of the minced garlic.
- 3
Mash everything together with a fork until it is wonderfully smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust with a little more lime juice, salt, or pepper if you like.
- 4
Heat a tablespoon of your preferred high-heat cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down.
- 5
Sear for about 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking and flakes easily. Serve immediately with a generous dollop of that amazing zesty avocado cream.
