Guacamole with Spicy Grilled Salmon
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 8oz raw center-cut salmon fillet
- spray avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- Guacamole
- 2 large avocados
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 medium red onion, diced
- 1 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- juice from 1 lime
- sea salt & pepper to taste
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 420F.
Step 2
Lightly spray the salmon with oil then rub the seasonings over the fillet.
Step 3
Set a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, once hot, spray with a little more oil, then add the salmon skin-side up. Sear the salmon for 1 – 3 minutes, ensuring it is not burning, then flip it over to sear for an additional 1 – 2 minutes. Place the entire skillet (with the salmon) in the oven to finish cooking, about 6 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the center-cut salmon.
Step 4
Once the salmon has finished cooking, flake it with a fork. IF the skin is crispy, dice that up, too!
Step 5
Add guacamole ingredients to a large bowl and mix together – it should be chunky with lots of texture. Fold in the grilled salmon (and skin) and mix well.
Step 6
Enjoy the guacamole with mini bell peppers OR for your lunch in a whole wheat pita or on a sandwich.
