  3. Make Avocado Lime Crema: Blend avocados, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency with water.
  4. Prepare the Base: Cook rice or cauliflower rice as per package instructions and warm tortillas if using.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Flake cooked salmon into pieces. Serve over rice or in tortillas. Top with avocado lime crema and desired toppings.
