Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, and half of the chopped coriander. Whisk until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish. Brush each fillet generously with the coriander lime sauce. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and the remaining chopped coriander.
Squeeze the juice from the remaining lime over the salsa ingredients. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven. Top each salmon fillet with a generous spoonful of the fresh avocado salsa and serve immediately.
For an extra kick, add a pinch of chilli flakes to the coriander lime sauce before brushing it on the salmon.
If you prefer a milder onion flavour in your salsa, soak the diced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the other ingredients. Drain well before use.
Serve this dish with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
