Ingredients
  

  • 2 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 small tomato diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice for salsa

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the mixture generously over the top of each fillet.
  4. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the salmon is baking, prepare the avocado salsa by combining diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Gently mix until well combined.
