This salmon recipe is so simple and yet so delicious. The secret? A perfectly creamy avocado cream sauce.
1) Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper.
2) Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and sear on both sides for 5 to 6 minutes, or until salmon is cooked to your liking. You can also do this on the grill.
3) While salmon sears, make the avocado sauce. To a food processor or blender add avocado, lemon juice, garlic, basil, 1/2 cup olive oil and half and half. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
4) Serve salmon with avocado sauce on top. Enjoy!
