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.

Goes well with sautéed lower carb vegetables ...

Well how odd that you should put this recipe up now Jan! Seriously I was only wondering a few days ago how avocado would cope with oven heat. Two of my favourite things together like this.. excellent. I might even make this for Aimee when she comes to dinner tonight, merci beaucoup!

Quick and easy and I'm sure it must be tasty as well as extremely good for you.
I really wanted to like salmon when I tried it but alas it#s not something I enjoyed.
