Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry, then rub with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dill.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, season with salt, and bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and flesh flakes easily.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, combine diced avocado, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and remaining 1 teaspoon dill in a bowl; toss gently to avoid mashing.
