Crispy skinned pan seared salmon in a creamy and lemony dill avocado ‘hollandaise’ sauce.
Still looking for cooking ideas for mom for Mother’s day? How about this crispy skinned pan seared salmon with a dill avocado hollandaise sauce? This recipe is so nice and quick and easy that any level of home cook can make it and it is sure to please mom! The salmon is simply seasoned and seared until the skin is nice and crispy and it is served topped with an creamy and lemony avocado hollandaise sauce. Hollandaise sauce is normally made with plenty of butter along with lemon juice but avocado makes a healthier substitute for all of that butter and it is just as creamy and good, pairing well with the salmon. Serve with crisp and juicy steamed asparagus and sweet and tart roast tomatoes to contrast and complement the creamy salmon and avodaise sauce and to complete the meal!
Crispy skin is the best!

I agree! Im tired of being asked to sign a waiver , when I order my salmon cooked to less than cremated , when eating out. Upper scale restaurants don’t bat an eye, put pubs etc , they freak out.
