Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 small garlic clove
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
To make the avocado remoulade, scoop the flesh of the avocado into a bowl and mash it until smooth.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, capers, chopped fresh parsley, and a finely minced garlic clove to the mashed avocado. Stir until well combined.
Taste the remoulade and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Serve the pan-seared salmon fillets hot with a generous dollop of avocado remoulade on top or on the side.
