Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and rub this blend onto the salmon fillets.
- If time allows, let the seasoned salmon rest in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil until shimmering.
- Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Remove salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
- In a blender, combine avocados, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper. Blend until creamy.
- If the crema is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- While the salmon rests, cook the rice according to package instructions and warm tortillas if using.
- Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
- Assemble the dish by layering rice in bowls or tortillas, topping with flaked salmon and avocado crema, and add beans, corn, onion, and tomatoes as desired.
- Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro before serving.
