Instructions

Creating Baked Cilantro Lime Salmon with Avocado Salsa is a simple process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
3. Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
5. Prepare Avocado Salsa: While the salmon is baking, prepare the avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced avocado, tomato, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and a pinch of salt. Gently toss to combine.
6. Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven. Top each fillet with a generous scoop of avocado salsa.
7. Garnish: Serve with additional lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
