avocado cream

This is the ultimate creamy avocado sauce that also doubles as a dip and salad dressing! Even better, there is no additional oil and instead relies on the creamy, healthy fats in the avocado to make a perfectly rich and silky avocado sauce that you will want to put on everything. 

Easy Creamy Avocado Sauce

Salmon Tacos with Avocado Crema

red onion, shaved

apple cider vinegar

sea salt

avocado

sour cream

jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, minced

lime

lb. center-cut salmon, skin-on

olive oil

brown sugar ((sub coconut sugar))

smoked paprika

garlic powder

kosher salt

black pepper

lime,

Shredded green cabbage

cilantro

corn or flour tortillas, warmed

Prepare Pickled Red Onions:Place red onions in a medium heat-proof bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sweetener, and sea salt. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat and pour vinegar mixture over red onions. Let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) at room temperature. (Note: you can prepare and refrigerate red onions up to 3 days in advance.)Drain before using.

Prepare Avocado Crema:Place avocado in a bowl and thoroughly mash with a fork until mostly smooth. Add remaining ingredients (sour cream through salt), and stir until combined. Set aside until ready to use.

Prepare Salmon:Preheat oven broiler to HIGH with oven rack 6 inches from heat.Pat salmon dry with a paper towel, and arrange skin side-down in a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet covered with foil. Rub salmon all over with olive oil.In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix to combine. Rub spice mixture evenly into flesh of salmon. Broil to desired degree of doneness, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a fork to flake salmon into pieces.

Assemble Tacos:Smear 1 to 2 Tbsp. of Avocado Crema on each warmed tortilla. Top with flaked salmon, shredded cabbage (I like to season the cabbage or slaw with a spritz of lime juice or rice vinegar and pinch of salt), cilantro, and pickled red onions.

This was absolutely delicious! Everything about it! Definitely using the seasoning for the salmon every time I make salmon! I used to pickled jalapeños in the crema and it was excellent!

A family favorite that I’ve made time and time again. I like to use the avocado crema sauce in other tacos recipes too. It’s so good!

Yup. Another home run! Followed exactly. So yummy. Husband loved it, will make again. I am so happy I found you!

This had become a family favorite! Also every time I make it for someone new, they clamor for the recipe. Perfect combo of smoky and sweet. Don’t skip the pickled onions - they take this from good to great!

Delicious! My teens loved it!  I substituted the tablespoon of brown sugar with a tablespoon of maple syrup :)

This is a FANTASTIC recipe.  I’m not a huge salmon fan but prepared exactly like this, mwah!  Do not skip the pickled onions, lime squeeze and cilantro.

Delicious! I didn’t have sour cream on hand so I substituted with some ricotta cheese blended really well with ACV and fresh lime juice.

Enjoyed the flavor combinations. Even my picky eater said ‘not bad’ which is high praise. 😆 I will be making it again.

My kids said these are the best tacos they’ve ever eaten! Thanks for a salmon recipe that my kids are excited to eat.
