Ingredients
- ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh dill
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 medium serrano pepper, seeded and minced (about 5 teaspoons)
- 1½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 large clove garlic, grated on a microplane (½ teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 4 (4-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 medium persian cucumbers, trimmed
- 2 medium avocados, diced (about 1⅓ cups)
- 1½ tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine ⅓ cup dill, 4 tablespoons oil, 1½ tablespoons ginger, minced serrano, grated garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Place 4 salmon fillets on a large rimmed baking sheet; pat dry with paper towels. Season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spoon the dill mixture evenly over the fillets; bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place trimmed cucumbers on a cutting board; use the side of a chef’s knife to gently smash them. Halve them lengthwise and roughly chop into ½- to 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add diced avocado, 1½ tablespoons lime juice, 2 teaspoons sesame seeds and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and ¼ teaspoon salt; gently toss to coat.
- Serve the salmon with the cucumber-avocado salad.
