Salmon Recipes: Seared Salmon with Avocado and Cucumber Salad

I'd like to suggest one of the tastiest salmon recipes: seared salmon over avocado and cucumber salad. Salmon has been a favorite seafood for a long time and there are lots of different recipes, though one of the most favorite combinations is salmon over avocado.

1. Combine dill, granulated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper, and set aside.
2. Brush all sides of salmon with lemon juice
3. Dredge salmon through seasoning mixture, coating all sides.
4. In a pre-heated non-stick pan, sear the salmon on both sides in olive oil until golden brown.
5. Transfer to a 350 F oven for approximately 10 minutes to finish cooking.
6. Portion immediately over salad.
