Salmon stuffed with avocado : Great food !

Take some salmon, add some mashed avocado and what a fabulous pairing they make. It's a quick and easy, great tasting meal!

Ingredients:

Serves Four
4 Salmon Fillets (approx. 4/6 oz. each)
2 Avocados, mashed
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Sea Salt + Black Pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. / 200C. / Gas 6.  Place salmon fillets on a work surface and cut a slit in them horizontally (do not cut all the way through). Stuff mashed avocado in between the slits and season the fillets liberally with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in an oven safe skillet/pan (you can use cast iron for this, but any will do) over medium high heat. Sear the salmon, skin side up if they have skin, for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Flip the fillets over, transfer the pan to the oven and finish cooking until salmon is cooked to desired done-ness, about 5-7 minutes depending on thickness. Serves 4.
