Baked Salmon with Avocado Dressing

Baked Salmon with Avocado Dressing
Makes 4 servings

One filet of salmon ~ 2.5 lbs
2 Avocados, cubed
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Canola oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (siracha?)
Salt
Pepper
2 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 inch Ginger, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon Toasted sesame seed oil


Preparing the salmon:
1. Wash and pat dry the salmon filets if previously frozen. If fresh leave alone.
2. Mix a little bit of oil and soy sauce vigorously, and then brush it on to the salmon to thinly coat it.
3. Salt and pepper the salmon.
4. Stick the salmon filets at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, and then turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 more minutes. The fish should be cooked but not well done.
5. Put aside on a serving platter and prepare the avocado topping.

Avocado topping:
1. In a mixing bowl, stir the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, sugar, sesame oil, and siracaha until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Add the cubed avocado and fold it into the sauce with a spoon to prevent mashing it.
3. Let it sit for 5 minutes, divide it into two portions and scoop it onto the warm salmon.

You can serve this with brown rice and a side of stir fried snap peas.
