Seared Salmon Avocado Salad Recipes

CRISPY PAN SEARED SALMON WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Make the salsa by adding all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stirring until well combined. Cover and set aside.
• Combine all of the salmon spices, minus the salt, in a small bowl. Pat the salmon skin dry with a paper towel and then sprinkle the salmon skin with salt.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the oil. Next place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down. While the salmon is cooking, sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both pieces of fish. You can also sprinkle a little extra salt on top as well. Cook the salmon skin side down for roughly 5-6 minutes, then flip and let the salmon finish cooking for 3-4 minutes depending on thickness. Remove the fish from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
• Finish the salmon by topping it with the avocado salsa and serve immediately. Enjoy!

SALMON AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Season salmon with 2 teaspoons of the Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
• Adjust the oven on the second rack. Broil salmon 6 to 7 minutes, until cooked through.
• In a large bowl, combine the red onion with olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon remaining Dijon, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste; let it sit about 5 minutes, so the flavor of the onion mellows.
• Add the tomatoes, avocado and toss. When ready to serve, toss in chopped lettuce and cabbage, finish with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar, taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed.
• Divide the salad in 4 bowls and top each with salmon.

SOY-GLAZED SALMON WITH CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD

• Rub the fish fillets all over with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and season lightly with salt. Place the fish in a baking dish and bake 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the honey-soy sauce mixture. Return the fish to the oven and continue baking until just cooked through, 7 to 9 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the rice vinegar, mayonnaise and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each soy sauce and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. Gently fold in the avocado. Serve the salmon with the salad and pickled ginger.

SEARED SALMON WITH CRAB SALAD AND AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Begin by taking each salmon fillet, wrapping them around, and tying them with some kitchen twine. In a hot saute pan, sear the salmon fillets on 1 side, until crisp and golden brown. Flip the fillets onto the other side and place in the oven for 5 minutes.
• To make the avocado sauce, steep the lemon grass in fish stock and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes to infuse the flavor. Remove the lemon grass from the stock and discard. Place the stock in a blender, add the diced avocados, and blend until smooth. Lastly, add the chives for color and flavor.
• In a medium size bowl, combine the crabmeat, halved tomatoes, and lime juice. Toss lightly and set aside.
• To serve, place the salmon fillets in the center of each plate. Place a spoonful of the crab salad on the side and drizzle the avocado sauce around the plate.

SALMON, AVOCADO & CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Season the salmon, then rub with oil. Mix the dressing ingredients together. Halve, stone, peel and slice the avocados. Halve and quarter the cucumber lengthways, then cut into slices. Divide salad, avocado and cucumber between four plates, then drizzle with half the dressing.
• Heat a non-stick pan. Add the salmon and fry for 3-4 mins on each side until crisp but still moist inside. Put a salmon fillet on top of each salad and drizzle over the remaining dressing. Serve warm.
