Red Curry Salmon with Avocado Creme

Ingredients

Steps

• 1

  In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, coconut milk, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt, and pulse until smooth. The consistency should be similar to cake batter--thick yet spreadable. To thin it if necessary, add a tablespoon or two of water or coconut milk and pulse to incorporate. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.

  Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into the cast iron pan on the Traeger. Add 2 of the salmon filets (skin-side-up if they have skin on) and cook until the underside is crisp and just beginning to blacken, about 4 minutes.

  Caramelize lime wedges by either adding them in during the last minute of the salmon cooking or throw them into the empty pan after the salmon is finished. Allow the limes to cook for 30 seconds on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
