Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitution:
- No avocado oil?- Substitute for coconut oil or unsalted butter.
- Remove skin from salmon after cooking it- If you want to remove the skin from the salmon, remove it after baking it. It will come right off very easily.
- Use avocado based mayo- much healthier and rich in healthy fats.
- Make sure to line baking sheet pan with parchment paper- this will prevent the salmon from sticking to the sheet pan.
