Pan-seared fatty salmon served with a fresh avocado-lime salsa. No added oils — salmon renders enough fat to sear while the avocado supplies creamy keto fat. Whole-food ingredients only.

This recipe is originally for 1 servings. How many are you cooking for today?

Ingredients
  • 6 ozs salmon fillet (skin-on, ~6 oz)
  • 1 medium ripe avocado
  • 8 pieces cherry tomatoes, halved (~100 g)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 wedge lime (for juice)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced (optional)
Instructions
1

Pat salmon dry. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Place salmon skin-side down; press briefly so skin makes contact. Cook until skin is crisp and salmon releases easily, about 4–5 minutes.

2

Flip and cook 2–4 minutes more until desired doneness. Remove and rest on a plate.

3

Meanwhile, mash the avocado in a bowl and stir in halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, minced garlic and a squeeze of lime juice. Add minced shallot if using.

4

Spoon avocado-lime salsa over the salmon and serve warm.
