Pat the salmon filet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear.
Season both sides of the salmon generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press lightly with a spatula for thirty seconds to prevent curling.
Sear the salmon for four to five minutes until the skin is crisp, then flip and cook for another two minutes.
While the salmon cooks, place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for four to five minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for two minutes to lock in the juices.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
