Seared Salmon in Dill Avodaise (Avocado Hollandaise) Sauce

[heart_this] · May 8, 2015 · 12 Comments

Seared Salmon in Dill Avodaise (Avocado Hollandaise) Sauce

Crispy skinned pan seared salmon in a creamy and lemony dill avocado ‘hollandaise’ sauce.

Still looking for cooking ideas for mom for Mother’s day? How about this crispy skinned pan seared salmon with a dill avocado hollandaise sauce? This recipe is so nice and quick and easy that any level of home cook can make it and it is sure to please mom! The salmon is simply seasoned and seared until the skin is nice and crispy and it is served topped with an creamy and lemony avocado hollandaise sauce. Hollandaise sauce is normally made with plenty of butter along with lemon juice but avocado makes a healthier substitute for all of that butter and it is just as creamy and good, pairing well with the salmon. Serve with crisp and juicy steamed asparagus and sweet and tart roast tomatoes to contrast and complement the creamy salmon and avodaise sauce and to complete the meal!

Crispy skinned pan seared salmon in a creamy and lemony dill avocado ‘hollandaise’ sauce.

ingredients
    For the avodaise (avocado hollandaise) sauce:
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (~1 lemon)
  • salt to taste
  • water
  • 1 tablespoons dill, chopped
  • For the pan seared salmon:
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
  • salt and pepper to taste
directions
    For the avodaise (avocado hollandaise) sauce:
  1. Puree the avocado, lemon juice and salt in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding enough water to give it a thick sauce consistency, before mixing in the dill.
  2. For the pan seared salmon:
  3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the salmon, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste, skin side down, reduce to medium heat and cook until the skin is crispy and releases from the pan, about 5 minutes, before flipping and cooking for 2 more minutes.
Option: For One-Pan: Make this a one-pan meal by roasting some asparagus and tomatoes in the pan along with the salmon!

    What a fantastic meal! I love the idea of the avocado hollandaise sauce. I think this versatile sauce would go well with so many other dishes.
