Step 1

Combine creamy avocado sauce ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth and creamy, set aside. If sauce is too thick you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water.

Step 2

Season salmon filets with salt and pepper on both sides. Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil, over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add salmon filets and sear for 5-6 minutes. Flip and sear for 5-6 additional minutes.

Step 3

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