Description
A 20-minute Keto dinner featuring bold, pan-seared blackened salmon topped with a creamy, zesty avocado lime salsa. Healthy, low-carb, and delicious!
Ingredients
2 Salmon fillets (6oz each)
1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
1 large Avocado (diced)
1/4 cup Red Onion (minced)
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
Instructions
1. Pat salmon fillets dry and coat the top with the combined spices.
2. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Place salmon flesh-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until a dark crust forms.
4. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until internal temp is 145°F.
5. Mix avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl.
6. Top the warm salmon with the fresh salsa and serve.
Notes
To lower the heat, reduce the cayenne pepper by half. Ensure the skillet is very hot before adding the fish for the best crust.
