Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine diced avocado, crumbled feta, dill, and chives. Add lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, then refrigerate.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry and arrange them skin-side down in the baking dish. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and dill. Brush on fillets, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Bake the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes until opaque and flaky. Avoid overbaking.
