Ingredients

Blackened Salmon
1 tbsp

1 tsp
dried oregano
1 tsp
garlic powder
1/2 tsp
onion powder
1/2 tsp
ground cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp
ground black pepper
1/2 tsp

1 tbsp

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425ºF.

To make the salmon, in a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the salmon. Liberally season the salmon with the paprika spice mix. Bake the salmon until it is cooked through, about 16 to 18 minutes. Broil the salmon until it becomes dark brown, about 1 minute.

While the salmon is cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the avocado, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Add the lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the salmon immediately with the salsa or store the salmon in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
