Cajun Salmon Preparation
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat salmon with this mixture and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add olive oil and place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and reduce the heat, searing for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- In a blender, combine ripe avocados, sour cream, fresh lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adding water until desired consistency is reached.
- Prepare additional components: cook rice. If using tortillas, warm them in a dry skillet until pliable.
- Assemble the dish: for a bowl, create a base of rice topped with black beans, corn, Cajun salmon, and avocado lime crema. For tacos, fill warm tortillas with salmon, lettuce, and desired toppings.
- Garnish with lime wedges and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
