  • 2 fresh salmon fillet
  • 3 fresh spring onions chopped
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 tbsp cream cheese light
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 lemon zest
  • 4 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • In a sauté pan, heat the avocado oil. Add the salmon after seasoning it with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the salmon for a few minutes on each side.
  • Then transfer the salmon to the air fryer and place it on a piece of parchment paper, and bake in the oven at 200°C for 10 minutes.
  • Use the same pan, add the chopped onions along with the finely chopped dill.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sauté and while stirring, add in the cream cheese and two tablespoons of water to break down the cream cheese.
  • If the cream cheese has softened and melted, then there is no need to add the extra two tablespoons of water.
