Salmon Filets With Avocado And Lime Food

PAN-FRIED SALMON FILLETS WITH MANGO-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• To prepare salsa, whisk lime juice and honey in medium bowl until well combined. Add mango, avocado, onion, jalapeno and stir, gently, until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or more to let the flavors meld. Season with salt to taste. Serve either cold or at room temperature.
• To prepare the salmon, mix cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pinch of cayenne in a small bowl. Lightly film both sides of salmon fillets with olive oil. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets until the outsides are lightly browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Lower heat to medium and cook until the salmon is a pale pink throughout, 2-3 minutes per side - depending on the thickness of the fillets.
• Season with more salt, cayenne and black pepper to taste, if desired. Transfer each fillet to a plate. Top each with equal portions of salsa.

SALMON AND AVOCADO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Toast the slices of bread. Butter 4 of the slices or brush them with olive oil on one side. If you didn't season the salmon when you cooked it, sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
• Stack the salmon, smoked salmon (if using), onion, tomato, and lettuce on the 4 slices of buttered toast. Spread the avocado slices evenly over the other ingredients, squeeze a little lime juice over it, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with the remaining bread slices.

SALMON WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on foil-lined baking sheet. Coat fish with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Cook salmon 10 to 12 minutes or until fish is opaque.
• While fish is cooking, combine avocado, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, hot-pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Process, scraping down bowl occasionally, until mixture is creamy and smooth. Serve a dollop of sauce next to each salmon fillet.

LIME SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the side of salmon fillets without skin with thyme, salt and pepper.
• In a skillet, melt butter at medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets, skin side up, and cook for about 4 minutes or until the bottom of fillets is lightly golden.
• Flip the salmon fillets and sprinkle with green onions and lime zest. Keep on cooking for 3 to 6 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with quarters of lime.

SALMON TACOS WITH LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Cut a piece of foil big enough to wrap the salmon in and brush with oil. Put the salmon on top, season and sprinkle with some of the lime zest and juice. Fold up the foil around the salmon so it all meets at the top and makes a handle to lift the parcel with.
• Heat a barbecue until the coals are glowing white hot. Make sure the grill is set high above the coals and put the foil parcel on. Cook for 10 mins and then open it and have a look. The salmon should be opaque - if it isn't, wrap it up and continue cooking.
• Wrap the tacos in foil and warm them at the side of the barbecue. Mix the remaining lime zest and juice with the yogurt and season. When the salmon is cooked, open out the foil and flake it into pieces. Serve the tacos with the salmon, tomato, avocado, chilli and sauce so people can stuff their own. Napkins are necessary.

SALMON WITH AVOCADO MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the first 6 ingredients; stir to combine, then set aside.
• Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry.
• Put the salmon, skin side down in a broiler pan.
• Brush each fillet with 1 teaspoon oil.
• Sprinkle the fillets evenly with the brown sugar mixture.
• Broil about 5 inches from heat source for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until brown sugar mixture begins to carmelize.
• Lower oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake 8-12 minutes or until fish flakes.
• In a small bowl, mash the avocado until mostly smooth.
• Add in the lemon juice; stir to combine.
• Whisk in the mayonnaise until smooth.
• Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve with the salmon fillets.

SALMON FILETS WITH AVOCADO AND LIME

Steps:

• Get enough salmon steaks or filets for the number of people you're serving. Squeeze lime juice over the salmon and salt very lightly. Let sit for about a half hour. Get half as many avocados as you have salmon filets. Dice. For every avocado add about one tablespoon olive oil and one teaspoon lime juice. [My family likes it a little heavier on the lime juice - so experiment. It's not a super strong lime flavor. It's kind of amazing how the avocado and salmon meld with lime.] Add a good amount of snipped chives. Lightly salt and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir and let rest while the salmon cooks. Coat salmon with olive oil. Broil, BBQ or pan-grill the salmon. Top each piece of salmon with the avocado-lime-chive mixture.
