Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Dice avocado into 1/4-inch cubes, then mix with 1 tbsp dill, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Spread evenly over salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and sear for 3 minutes until golden. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 12 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
