Marinate the Salmon
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of one fresh lime, and your preferred Cajun seasoning. Whisk until well-blended. Coat each salmon fillet generously with this mixture and let marinate for about 30 minutes.
Prepare the Rice
- Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and ½ teaspoon of salt to a boil. Stir in the rice, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15–20 minutes until tender, then fluff with a fork and mix in lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Make the Avocado Salsa
- In a mixing bowl, combine diced avocados, finely chopped red onion, and lime juice. Add cilantro and scallions, mix gently to combine, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Sear the Salmon
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place marinated salmon fillets skin side down in the pan and sear for 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until cooked through.
Serve the Dish
- Place a serving of cilantro lime rice on a plate, top with seared salmon, and spoon avocado salsa over it. Enjoy!

Notes
