Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 avocados
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Rub the Cajun seasoning evenly over each fillet.
- Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
- In a bowl, mash the avocados and mix in the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Notes
Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Allowing the salmon to rest for a few minutes after baking helps the juices redistribute.
