Instructions
Prep the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Make the Avocado-Feta Topping:
In a small bowl, mix together the diced avocado, crumbled feta, chopped dill, and sliced chives.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the topping while you prepare the salmon.
Prepare the Salmon:
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture and place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped dill.
Brush the olive oil mixture over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Season each fillet with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
Bake the Salmon:
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve:
Remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately.
Spoon the chilled avocado-feta topping over each fillet before serving.
