Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets of salmon (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
- Spices like paprika or cayenne (optional)
- Other herbs like dill or parsley (optional)
- Extra lime wedges (for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare your salmon by placing the fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and generously sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper over the top.
- Bake the salmon for about 15-20 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, make the avocado lime sauce. In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, then stir in the lime juice, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Once the salmon is ready, plate it up! Serve each fillet drizzled with the creamy avocado lime sauce. Top with cilantro, if using, and don’t forget those lime wedges on the side!
