Salmon stuffed with avocado : A fabulous pairing !


Take some salmon, add some mashed avocado and what a fabulous pairing they make. It's a quick and easy, great tasting meal and fits in with my LCHF menu plans well 😋

Ingredients
Serves Four
4 Salmon Fillets (approx. 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 nicely with sautéed lower carb vegetables ...

As always, I like salmon very much, now and due to circumstances we live in a place where it is tuna season and it is caught in the Almadrabas, it is a wonder apart from the tasty and what you also learn about it.
Best regards
