Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs salmon with skin on (whole or cut into fillets)
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp salt (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 lime (zest only)
  • 2 ripe avocados

  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime (juice only)
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin

Instructions

  1. Boil water for corn while preparing salmon. Add salt and corn on the cob. Cook for 6-8 minutes, then carefully take it out to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Mix all seasoning ingredients in a bowl.
