Ingredients:
Two 8 Oz. salmon filets
1 Tbsp avocado oil
1 pinch sea salt and black pepper
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 small lemon, thinly sliced into 1/8" rounds
For the Garlic Sauce
1/4 cup hummus
1 to 2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 to 2 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
(or 1 to 2 tsp dried dill)
2cloves garlic, minced
Two 8 Oz. salmon filets
1 Tbsp avocado oil
1 pinch sea salt and black pepper
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 small lemon, thinly sliced into 1/8" rounds
For the Garlic Sauce
1/4 cup hummus
1 to 2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 to 2 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
(or 1 to 2 tsp dried dill)
2cloves garlic, minced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400
On a baking sheet, line with parchment paper or if using an iron skillet, lightly oil and rub to coat.
Prepare salmon by briefly rinsing under cold water and patting dry with a paper towel.
Once dry, drizzle both filets with a little oil and season each with a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Next sprinkle on dill and top with fresh lemon slices (helps to keep the fish more moist and infuses lemon flavor).
If cooking in a skillet: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, add a little oil, then add salmon filets and sear on the underside for 2 to 3 minutes.
Then put into preheated oven and continue cooking for 8 to10 minutes, or until the center is fully cooked
(check by cutting into the center of one of the filets). Set aside until serving.
If cooking on a baking sheet: Transfer seasoned salmon directly to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes,
or until the center is fully cooked (check by cutting into the center of one of the filets). Set aside until serving.
Meanwhile, prepare garlic sauce by adding hummus, lemon, dill, and garlic to a small mixing bowl and stirring to combine.
Then add water a little at a time until a semi-thick, pourable sauce is achieved.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon for acidity, garlic for zing, or dill for herbal flavor, then set aside.
Serve with vegetables and garlic sauce and enjoy!
