Report
Tender pink salmon baked in foil, then drizzled with zesty and creamy avocado sauce!
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 small salmon fillets OR 2 large fillets (skin removed)
- ½ lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
Avocado Sauce
- 1 large ripe avocado
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon 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 flakey 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.
Notes
- Store extra avocado sauce in airtight container in fridge.
