Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Crispy Salmon with Avocado Cucumber Salsa:
1. Prepare the Salsa: In a bowl, combine the diced avocados, cucumber, and red onion.
2. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
3. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Salmon: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them to allow for a crispy skin.
6. Flip and Finish: Gently flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Plate the Dish: Place the crispy salmon fillet on a serving plate and top generously with the avocado cucumber salsa.
8. Garnish (optional): Feel free to garnish with additional lime wedges or fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
