Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 avocados, mashed
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
Salt, to taste
Chopped dill, to taste
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the salmon fillets in a baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, mash avocados in a bowl. Add lime zest, lime juice, salt, and chopped dill. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Once the salmon is done, top each fillet with a generous scoop of avocado mash.
Garnish with chopped red onion and serve warm.
