    Ingredients

    • 4 5 oz portions of salmon
    • Blackening seasoning
    • Grapeseed or olive oil
    • 2 ripe avocados
    • 1 TBS garlic paste 2 garlic cloves

    Instructions

    • In a food processor, add in 4 avocado halves, garlic (cloves or paste) & jalapeno and pulse until chopped up.
    • Add Greek yogurt, salt, red pepper and lime juice and process until smooth. Taste and adjust to your preference for spiciness and saltiness.
    • Heat 1-2 TBS oil in a non-stick saute pan.
    • Season one side of salmon with blackening season.
    • When the pan is hot add salmon, season side down. Season the top with blackening season and cook for about 3 minutes and then flip and cook 2-3 minutes or until done. It really depends on the size and thickness of your salmon fillets,
