Ingredients

4 salmon fillets

2 ripe avocados

1 tbsp lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

1 small red onion, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Prepare the Salmon:
    Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Bake the Salmon:
    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  4. Prepare the Avocado Mash:
    While the salmon is baking, mash the ripe avocados in a bowl using a fork until smooth. Stir in the lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. For extra flavor, add chopped cilantro and red onion if desired.

  5. Serve:
    Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with a generous scoop of avocado mash on the side, and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Herb-Infused Salmon: Add a mix of herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme before baking for added freshness.

  • Spicy Avocado Mash: Add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the avocado mash for extra heat.

  • Grilled Salmon: For a smoky flavor, grill the salmon instead of baking it. Brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  • Add Vegetables: Pair the dish with a side of roasted vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts for an extra nutrient boost.
