- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub mixture onto both sides of fillets.

- Remove salmon from heat, let rest for a few minutes.
- Combine avocados, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, and cayenne in a blender and blend until smooth. Add water as necessary.
