Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Sear salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and flaky, then remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a blender, combine 1 medium avocado (pitted and peeled), 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp chopped dill, and 1/4 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, adding 1 tsp water if too thick.
  4. Step 4: Slice salmon, drizzle with avocado-lime sauce, and garnish with lime zest. Serve immediately.
