Avocado Topped Salmon - Madness Style
For a quick lunch, we seasoned and seared some salmon fillets, but felt like being a bit creative. We've topped many meals with a quick guacamole before, but then we thought, why not incorporate the guacamole ingredients into the dish without actually making the guacamole? The result? Delicious!
A very quick and easy way to serve salmon. Searing it first seals in the flavor and moisture.
Ingredients
- 2 6-ounce salmon fillets
- 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, cut into spears (or julienned)

- Salt to taste
