Avocado Lime Salmon
Avocado Lime Salmon pairs tender, pan-seared salmon with a vibrant green sauce made from creamy avocado, fresh coriander, and zesty lime. The cool, silky sauce contrasts beautifully with the warm, rich fish, while toasted pumpkin seeds provide a satisfying crunch. It’s fresh, colorful, and an unexpected way to serve salmon.
