Instructions

Combine creamy avocado sauce ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth and creamy, and set aside. If the sauce is too thick you can add a pinch of water or extra lemon juice.

Season salmon filets with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a nonstick pan or skillet. Once the oil is hot, add salmon filets and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare and 4-5 minutes per side for medium.

Transfer salmon filets to a plate and top with creamy avocado sauce. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve immediately with a lemon wedge.
