Description
A spice-kissed baked salmon dish with a creamy avocado lime sauce that balances smoky heat with tangy freshness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 avocados
- 1 lime
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
