Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and brush both sides of fish using 3 tablespoons of avocado oil. Cook salmon, uncovered, about 4 minutes, until browned.
- Turn salmon over and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes for frozen, or 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed, just until fish is opaque throughout.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine watercress, cucumber, and orange segments. Season with a few drops of white wine vinegar, remaining avocado oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Plate mixed greens next to salmon and top with avocado, walnuts, and apple cider vinaigrette. Add nasturtiums, if desired, and serve.
