Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 1 whole lime
- 2 whole ripe avocado
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 100 grams cream cheese, softened
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 bag tortilla chips or crackers, for serving
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook it in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Let it cool slightly.
While the salmon is cooling, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Stir in the juice of half the lime, a pinch of salt, and an optional dash of hot sauce for some heat.
In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped dill, and the remaining lime juice. Mix until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Flake the cooked salmon into small pieces, removing any skin and bones, and set it aside.
In a serving dish, layer the mashed avocado mixture as the base layer.
Spread the Greek yogurt and cream cheese mixture over the avocado layer.
Top with the flaked salmon, evenly distributing it across the surface.
Garnish with sliced green onions and an extra sprinkle of freshly chopped dill for color.
Serve the layered dip immediately with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping. Enjoy!
