Ingredients

For the Salmon:

1 pound salmon fillet

1 teaspoon ground coriander

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lime, sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Avocado and Cilantro Salad:

2 ripe avocados, diced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1–2 jalapeños, deseeded and minced

2 scallions, thinly sliced

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Salmon:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle with olive oil, then rub with ground coriander and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

Place lime slices on top of the salmon and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Prepare the Avocado and Cilantro Salad:

While the salmon cooks, prepare the salad by combining diced avocados, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeños, and sliced scallions in a bowl.

Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss, being careful not to mash the avocados.

Assemble and Serve:

Once the salmon is done, let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Plate the salmon alongside the avocado cilantro salad. Serve with a side of couscous, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

Spicy Version: Add extra jalapeños for more heat or drizzle the salmon with spicy sriracha sauce.

Vegetarian Option: Substitute the salmon with roasted sweet potatoes or grilled vegetables for a hearty, vegetarian version.

Add Protein: For extra protein, add grilled chicken or shrimp to the salad.
