SALMON WITH AVOCADO LIME SAUCE Dress up your salmon with this unique sauce that offers the antibacterial and antifungal properties of ginger, and cilantro and coriander (the leaf and seed from the same plant), and the prebiotic fiber of avocado plus the Akkermansia-cultivating effect of the oleic acid in olive oil. Makes 2 servings 1 avocado, pulp removed 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh or bottled) 2 tablespoons onion, minced ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger, or ½ teaspoon dried ginger ½ teaspoon ground coriander 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or butter 2 8-ounce salmon filets In a blender, combine the pulp of one avocado with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and lime juice, onion, cilantro, ginger, coriander, vinegar, and salt and blend until smooth. Set aside. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Place salmon filets, skin side up, in the oil and cook for 4–5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes. Serve the salmon topped with the avocado lime sauce.
