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 skin is the best!

Beautiful salmon dish!
What an awesome dinner dish! looks delicious!
such a gorgeous dinner!
Avocado hollandaise? Oh my! The salmon looks perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious Kevin. YUM.
I agree! Im tired of being asked to sign a waiver , when I order my salmon cooked to less than cremated , when eating out. Upper scale restaurants don’t bat an eye, put pubs etc , they freak out.
What a beautiful dinner! Love this Kevin!
This looks incredible! YUM!
Kevin, your recipes are always so tempting! I want this for lunch today!
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.
Well hadn't thought of Avocado Hollandaise, guess OLD cooks can lean from young ones too. :))
Avocado Hollandaise!? YES! YES! YES! 🙂 This is absolutely beautiful. Love those roasted tomatoes you got going on over there too.
Delicious! Will definitely make it again but with a bit less lemon.
We made this dish this evening and it was delicious! I’m using the leftover sauce on my egg tomorrow morning. Thanks for this sharing this scrumptious sauce with us.
