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 medium stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the salmon fillet in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for a few seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is just 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 tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Remove the asparagus from the heat and toss immediately with the minced garlic and fresh lemon juice.
Plate the crispy-skinned salmon alongside the garlic-lemon asparagus and serve immediately.
