Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1 tbsp lemon zest.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together coconut aminos, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Brush evenly over salmon, then top with remaining lemon zest.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F (63°C) internally, then immediately sprinkle with fresh dill.
  4. Step 4: Serve topped with avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, drizzling any pan juices over the fish.
