2. Combine sour cream, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and a dash of salt in a food processor. Process until the cilantro is finely minced. Set aside at room temperature.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the spice mixture and rub lightly.
4. Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and, once shimmering, place the salmon top-side down. Cook for about 4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Serve warm with the creamy cilantro lime sauce.
