Instructions

Temper the fish and bring it to room temperature for 15 minutes and pat the skin dry
Season the salmon fillets on all sides with sea salt and cracked black pepper
Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Sear the salmon skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy
Flip the salmon and add minced garlic and lemon slices to the pan. If using, add ghee at this time
Transfer the skillet to the oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) and roast for 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium
Remove the skillet from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish, and garnish with fresh dill and parsley before serving

Notes

For best results, ensure the salmon skin is very dry before searing.

Monitor the internal temperature to avoid overcooking, as salmon continues to cook after removing from heat.
