Method

Pat salmon fillets completely dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down for 5 minutes without moving it, until skin is crisp.
Flip salmon, add asparagus to the pan around it, and cook 3 more minutes.
Add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. As the butter foams, tilt the pan and spoon it over the salmon repeatedly for 1–2 minutes.
Remove from heat, squeeze lemon over everything, and serve immediately with the browned butter spooned on top.
