Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tsp grated turmeric and 1/4 tsp sea salt, pressing gently to adhere.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until the edges are crispy and the salmon releases easily from the pan.
  3. Step 3: Flip salmon and cook for 3 more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds and squeeze 1/4 lemon over the top until the seeds are lightly toasted and golden.
