Ingredients:

• 1 avocado, cut, pitted, peeled
• 1/2 cup bottled light ranch dressing
• 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. milk, divided
• 1 Tbsp chopped chives
• 2 Tbsp chopped parsley, divided
• 12 oz. salmon filet

2. Pat the salmon filet dry and sprinkle on both sides with 2 Tbsp. blackening seasoning. Heat 1 Tbsp. canola oil in a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the salmon and cook until blackened on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn the filet and continue cooking until the other side is blackened and the salmon is tender, flaky, but not overcooked, about another 3-4 minutes. Keep warm.
3. Place flour onto a piece of waxed paper and stir in remaining 1 1/2 tsp. blackening seasoning. Place egg in a shallow bowl and with a fork slightly beat with remaining 1 Tbsp. milk.
