Ingredients
  

  • 2 6 oz salmon fillets
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your salmon cooks evenly and to perfection.
  • Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Make sure the fillets are well-coated with the spices.
  • Bake the Salmon: Pop the salmon into the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your fillets.
  • Mash the Avocado: While the salmon is baking, scoop the flesh out of the avocado into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Stir in the chopped cilantro and parsley.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once the salmon is done, plate it alongside a generous dollop of avocado mash. Garnish with additional herbs if desired, and enjoy your delicious, nutritious meal!
