Baked Salmon with Avocado & Feta

Ingredients
For the salmon:
4 salmon fillets (without skin)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Paprika, to taste
For the avocado-feta topping:
1 large avocado, diced
⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh chives, sliced
½ of a lemon, juiced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
Prep the oven. Turn your oven on to 400 degrees and spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Make the avocado-feta topping. Mix the avocado, crumbled feta, dill and chives together in a small bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste. (Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.)
Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salmon.
Prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon fillets with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture and place them in your prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and dill together and brush the mixture over each fillet. Season each fillet with salt, pepper and paprika to your liking.
Bake! Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve. Serve immediately with your avocado-feta topping spooned over each fillet.
