Preparation
For the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture for a crispy sear.
For the Salsa: Prepare all ingredients (dice avocado, chop tomatoes, onions, cilantro, etc.) and mix them in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Cooking Steps
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and allow it to heat.
Rub the salmon fillets with minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Drizzle lemon juice on top.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the avocado salsa. Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl, stir gently to coat, and adjust seasoning to taste.
Plate the cooked salmon and top it with a generous portion of avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
