10 mins prepServes 4
Pan Seared Salmon in a buttery lemon garlic sauce, topped with a delicious tomato salsa and avocado slices. This dish is healthy, low carb, and full of amazing flavor, making it very easy to prepare.
1: Pat dry room temperature salmon fillets with paper towel.
2: Season all over with salt and pepper, and squeeze 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice over each fillet.
3: Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
4: Add salmon fillets, flesh side down, while pressing lightly so the entire surface of the flesh comes into contact with the pan.
5: Sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden.
6: Flip the fillets and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
7: Add butter, chopped garlic, and remaining lemon juice to the pan.
8: Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired doneness, stirring the butter and garlic around each fillet.
9: Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed, and add more lemon if desired.
10: While salmon cooks, combine the salsa ingredients (not including avocado) in a bowl.
11: Top each salmon fillet with tomato salsa and avocado slices, and drizzle with buttery sauce before serving.
