Roasted Salmon with Citrus Herb Dressing Using Avocado Oil

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons AEVO avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Citrus Herb Dressing:

• 1/4 cup AEVO avocado oil
• Juice and zest of 1 orange
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with AEVO avocado oil.
2. Prepare the Salmon:
   Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet with AEVO avocado oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
3. Roast the Salmon:
   Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Prepare the Citrus Herb Dressing:
   While the salmon roasts, whisk together AEVO avocado oil, orange juice, lemon juice, orange and lemon zest, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and honey in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Serve:
   Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to serving plates. Spoon the citrus herb dressing generously over the salmon. Serve with roasted vegetables or a side of mixed greens for a complete meal.

This dish combines the richness of salmon with the bright, refreshing flavors of citrus and herbs, enhanced by the smooth texture of AEVO avocado oil. Perfect for a healthy, delicious dinner!
