Pan-Seared Salmon with Creamy Avocado Sauce

Step 1

Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, cream, avocado, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in an electric blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add salmon once oil is hot and sear, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and sear for 5 to 6 minutes more.

Step 3

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