Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the avocado mash by combining mashed avocados, lime zest, lime juice, chopped red onion, dill, and salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Serve the baked salmon topped with a generous portion of avocado mash. Garnish with additional dill or lime wedges if desired.

Add diced tomatoes or cucumber to the avocado mash for extra freshness.

Swap lime for lemon juice for a different citrus flavor.

Sprinkle chili flakes on the salmon for a spicier kick.

Serve over quinoa, rice, or mixed greens for a complete meal.

Use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika for a smoky flavor.
