Grilled Salmon with Avocado-Tarragon Sauce
Serve with couscous and sautéed spinach or chard.
Serves4
1 ripe Haas (California) avocado, pitted and peeled
1/3 cup low-fat Greek-style or plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice of 1/2 lemon)
2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon* leaves (about 1 sprig fresh tarragon*)
1 small clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Organic black pepper
Four (6 oz each) boneless-skinless wild Alaskan salmon fillets
1 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil
1 tablespoons honey
Not everyone loves tarragon: you can substitute 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoons dried rosemary.- Place the avocado, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, tarragon, garlic, salt and a pepper to taste in a food processor and process very well until smooth. Set aside. Preheat the grill (or broiler) and lightly oil the grill grate.
- Combine the olive oil and honey and brush on both sides of the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on the prepared grill (or under broiler) and cook until easily flaked with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Top with a dollop of avocado sauce.
