Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (Adjust to spice preference.)
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Avocado Lime Sauce

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (Or sour cream.)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (Chopped, optional.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Make Cajun Oil Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
  4. Season Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of the salmon with the Cajun oil mixture.
  5. Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Prepare Sauce: While the salmon is baking, prepare the Avocado Lime Sauce. In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
  7. Mix Sauce Ingredients: Add the lime juice, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado. Whisk until well combined and creamy.
  8. Rest Salmon: Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
  9. Serve: Serve the salmon with a generous drizzle of the Avocado Lime Sauce on top. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your spice preference.
  • Greek yogurt can be substituted with sour cream in the sauce.

  • Allowing the salmon to rest a few minutes after baking enhances juiciness.
