Start by patting dry the salmon fillets with paper towels, ensuring moisture is removed.

In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Coat each salmon fillet with the seasoning mixture.

Optional: let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes.

Cook the salmon by pan-searing, baking, grilling, or air-frying using appropriate times.

Let the salmon rest for a few minutes once cooked.

Prepare the Avocado Lime crema by blending avocados, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper until smooth.

Prepare your chosen sides.

Serve the salmon, drizzled with crema, alongside your prepared sides.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
