Ingredients

For the Cilantro Lime Sauce*

  • ½ cup avocado oil mayo
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice about 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk may also use water

For the Salmon

For the tomato avocado salad

  • 1 avocado cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • Blend all ingredients for the cilantro lime sauce until smooth, then set aside.
  • Place the salmon filet on a rimmed baking sheet, then season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the salmon, then bake for 13-15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • While the salmon is baking, place all ingredients for the tomato avocado salad in a large bowl and toss to combine.
  • Pour the tomato avocado salad over the salmon and serve!

Notes

  • If desired, you can substitute 3/4 cup storebought cilantro lime dressing 
  • If using smaller portions of salmon instead of a large filet, cook for 6-7 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork
