Preparation
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Mix together Cajun seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Rub this blend onto the salmon fillets and let marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet, sear for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
- In a blender, combine ripe avocados, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Process until smooth, adding water gradually to reach the desired consistency.
- Prepare rice according to package directions. Warm tortillas if using.
- Assemble the dish by serving salmon on rice or in tortillas, topping with avocado-lime crema and any desired toppings.

Notes
For crispy skin, avoid overcrowding the pan. Customize spice levels to taste. Avocado crema can be made ahead and chilled in the fridge.
