Instructions
- Step 1: Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with 1/4 tsp sea salt. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook 3 minutes more until internal temperature reaches 125°F.
- Step 2: Dice avocado and toss immediately with 1 tbsp lime juice to prevent browning. Reserve remaining lime juice for dressing.
- Step 3: Whisk coconut water, 1 tsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp chives in a small bowl until emulsified. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
- Step 4: Arrange seared salmon on a plate, top with avocado, and drizzle generously with coconut water dressing. Garnish with remaining chives.
