Seared Salmon Avocado Salad - Paleo/Whole30/Keto Recipe - Blondelish

Preheat your broiler or oven to 400°F/200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides and place it into your prepared baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet on the higher rack of your oven and broil or bake the salmon.

If baking, cook for 12-15 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the fillet.

If broiling, cook for 5-7 minutes, adjusting time based on desired doneness.

For well-done salmon, leave it in the heated oven for an extra 3-5 minutes after broiling.

Prepare the dressing by mixing olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lime or lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, dried basil, dried crushed red pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

Combine the cooked salmon and avocado with the dressing before serving.
