Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet and press down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact; sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon sears, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice in a small saucepan or microwave until steaming.
Plate the salmon alongside the rice and asparagus, then drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the fish and vegetables just before serving.
